Step-by-Step Instructions for Blueberry Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Mix well for about 1-2 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, with a few lumps remaining.
  5. Coat blueberries with a little flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, sprinkle sugar on top, and bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. After baking, cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
