Cindy's Zesty Lemon and Blueberry Loaf

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to keep the bread from sticking. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, butter, lemon zest, and cinnamon to make the crumbly topping—set this aside for now. Next, in a larger bowl, whisk the sugar, milk, melted butter, and egg until everything is well combined. In another bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add this to the wet ingredients. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, being careful not to break up the berries. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle the topping evenly over the surface. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool a bit before slicing and enjoying!
