Servings: 10 slices
Ingredients:
For the Blueberry Lemon Bread:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour)
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Toss Blueberries in Flour:
- Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour to coat them. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
7. Fold in Blueberries:
- Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter.
8. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool:
- Allow the blueberry lemon bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare the Lemon Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
11. Glaze the Bread:
- Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.
12. Slice and Serve:
- Slice the gluten-free blueberry lemon bread and serve. Enjoy!
Note:
- Ensure all ingredients, including the baking powder and baking soda, are labeled gluten-free.
- You can add a handful of additional blueberries on top of the batter before baking for a decorative touch.
