Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Intensity: High
- Time: 5 minutes
Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a loaf pan that fits into your air fryer basket.
2. Prepare the Batter:
- Intensity: Medium
- Time: 10 minutes
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Intensity: Medium
- Time: 5 minutes
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
4. Fold in Blueberries:
- Intensity: Low
- Time: 3 minutes
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Transfer to Loaf Pan:
- Intensity: Low
- Time: 2 minutes
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Air Fry:
- Intensity: High
- Time: 40-45 minutes
Place the loaf pan in the preheated air fryer basket. Air fry at 325°F (163°C) for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Glaze:
- Intensity: Low
- Time: 5 minutes
Allow the blueberry lemon bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to create the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
8. Slice and Enjoy:
- Intensity: Low
- Time: 2 minutes
Once the glaze has set, slice the air fryer blueberry lemon bread and enjoy!
Note:
- Adjust the cooking time based on your specific air fryer model and its temperature accuracy.
- You can substitute frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before folding into the batter.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
