Ingredients

For The Bread

3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp lemon zest
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup blueberries
1 tsp vanilla extract

For The Lemon Glaze

3 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup powdered sweetener
4 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Make the Batter. In a large mixing bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and frothy.
3 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp baking powder
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the lemon zest and blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 cup blueberries
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the Bread. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Make the Lemon Glaze. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Once the bread has cooled completely, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the bread.
3 oz cream cheese, 1/3 cup powdered sweetener, 4 tbsp lemon juice
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Stop Blueberries from Sinking: Coat blueberries in flour to distribute them evenly and prevent sinking.
Use Fresh Baking Powder: Check the expiration to ensure your bread rises well.
Correct Flour Measurement: Use the spoon and level method for accurate measurement and to avoid a dense loaf.
Adjust Sweetness: Add more sugar if you like it sweeter.
Try Different Berries: Swap blueberries for raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries for variety.
