- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter an 8×4-inch loaf pan and line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together melted butter, 1 cup sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternate Mixing: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.
- Prepare Blueberries: In the same bowl used for dry ingredients, toss blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.
- Fold & Bake: Gently fold in grated lemon zest and coated blueberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 40 minutes on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
