In my eyes, there is nothing more relaxing than putting a few simple ingredients together and watching it turn into a wonderful smelling beautiful looking and magnificently tasting treat.

12 servings

Ingredients:
5 Tbl melted butter
1 cup white sugar
3 Tbl fresh lemon juice
2 eggs (1/2 cup egg beaters)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 Tbl grated lemon zest
½ cup milk
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 Tbl lemon juice
¼ cup confectioners’ sugar


1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
2. In a bowl, beat butter, 1 cup sugar, 3 Tbl lemon juice and eggs. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk. Fold in nuts and blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 2 Tbl lemon juice and confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl. Remove bread from pan and drizzle with glaze. Cool on wire rack and serve!


Notes: I used egg beaters instead of eggs. Used chopped pecans instead of walnuts. I also used frozen blueberries. If you let them thaw, they’re going to turn your batter purple so use straight from the freezer or fresh.
