For the Lemon Glaze:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper or spray generously with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, eggs, oil, lemon juice and zest, and vanilla until smooth.
- To the same bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir just until combined.
- Fold in the blueberries using a spatula.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Let bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If gluten-free is not needed, you can substitute an equal amount of unbleached all-purpose flour for the gluten-free flour.
- If the top of the loaf is browning too quickly, cover very lightly with a sheet of foil after 30-35 minutes of baking time.
