Lemon Glazed Tea Bread with Fresh Blueberries

A large container of fresh blueberries from the Farmers Market is perfect for this delicious tea bread that is so easy to make.  These blueberries come to us from Michigan.

Bread:

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup milk (I used 2%)

Glaze;

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Stir in blueberries carefully and the lemon zest.

In another bowl, beat eggs; add milk, oil and lemon juice.  Stir into the dry ingredients mixture, just until moistened.

Pour into a greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick tests clean.  (I baked the loaf exactly 55 minutes).

Prepare glaze by combining all ingredients.  After removing loaf from the oven, while still warm, brush or drizzle the glaze over the bread.

Let cool for 10 minutes, remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
