Instructions

Bring all wet ingredients to room temperature 45 minutes to 1 hour before starting. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, then preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, combine all wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
In another bowl, mix all dry ingredients and make a well in the center. Pour in the wet ingredients and whisk until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.
Dry and wash the blueberries. Toss 1 cup of blueberries with 2 teaspoons of flour. Fold them gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and press the remaining blueberries into the top. Combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and sprinkle over the loaf.
Bake for 60–75 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with moist crumbs. Don't overbake as it may dry out.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. Let it cool for an additional hour before slicing.
To make the glaze, mix powdered sugar with a pinch of salt and lemon juice until smooth. Pipe over the cooled bread.

Notes

Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture.
Avoid using an electric mixer to keep the bread light and fluffy.
Allow the bread to cool completely to prevent it from falling apart when slicing.
