Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup (227g) sourdough starter discard
- ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar
- ½ cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup blueberries
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: sourdough discard, brown sugar, butter (or coconut oil), eggs, milk, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over the cooled bread and enjoy!
