I may have even gone a little overboard with blueberries, so the recipe below actually lists a slightly smaller quantity than I used =)
Ingredients:
1 ยฝ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons fresh grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
ยฝ cup milk
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries I used fresh
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For the Lemon Glaze:
2 tablespoons butter melted
ยฝ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Step1: Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit and line the loaf pan with parchment paper. Then whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Blend together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice in an electric mixer, mix well until it is combined. While mixing, add the flour mixture and milk in two batches, mix until it is well combined. Set it aside.
Step 3: Rinse the blueberries in a small bowl, toss the blueberries and add a tablespoon of flour. Add the flour coated berries to the batter and gently stir to combine.
Step 4: Pour the batter immediately into the prepared pan and allow it to bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pan for about 30 minutes, then move it to the wire cooling rack with a baking sheet below.

Step 5: Whisk the melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla together, and then pour glaze over the loaf. Allow to set for a few minutes, then serve.
