  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • Juice and zest of one lemon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup blueberries (frozen, without thawing)

Topping

  • Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Prep: Prepare your baking materials by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lining a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of room temperature Land O Lakes® Butter and 1 cup of white sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a good base for the bread batter.
  3. Add Lemon and Eggs: Mix in the juice and zest of one lemon along with 2 eggs to the creamed butter and sugar. This adds flavor and moisture to the batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients and Milk: In another bowl or the same mixing bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture along with 1/2 cup milk, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of frozen blueberries (do not thaw) into the batter to distribute the berries evenly without breaking them apart.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the mixed batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched, indicating it is done.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool completely in the pan or on a wire rack. Slice and serve with a generous slather of Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Using frozen blueberries without thawing helps prevent the berries from bleeding into the batter and keeps the color vibrant.
  • Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the bread tender and springy.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing to avoid crumbly slices.
  • The lemon juice and zest brighten the flavor and balance the sweetness of the bread.
