Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter
150g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
3 eggs
150g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1 cup almonds
120g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
2 tbsp milk (1% fat)
30g
1 cup blueberries
150g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the lemon zest and mix until well incorporated.
- Crack in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, ground almonds, and baking powder.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add the Blueberries:
- Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula. If using frozen blueberries, there's no need to thaw them first, but you may need to bake the loaf slightly longer.
6. Bake the Loaf:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top starts browning too much, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
7. Prepare Lemon Glaze:
- While the loaf is baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
8. Cool and Glaze:
- Once done, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the loaf is cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing.
9. Serve:
- Slice and enjoy your Blueberry and Lemon Loaf! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.

- To prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, dust them lightly with flour before folding them into the batter.

- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best possible flavor.

- If you don't have almonds, you can substitute with almond flour or your preferred type of nut flour.

- Allow the loaf to cool completely before applying the lemon glaze to ensure it sets properly.

There you have it, a delicious Blueberry and Lemon Loaf that's perfect for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. The combination of tangy lemon and sweet blueberries, with the nutty hint of almonds, creates a harmonious balance of flavors that will delight your taste buds. This easy-to-make loaf will quickly become a favorite in your baking repertoire. Enjoy!
