  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger. 

  4. Add brown sugar and eggs to bowl of oats. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract. 

  5. Mix in dry ingredients until just combined. 

  6. Toss blueberries with 1 tsp flour. Stir into batter. 

  7. Add batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 375 and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until center is set and top is lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Icing

  1. In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar, lemon zest and 2 Tbsp water or milk. Stir well. Add additional water or milk until icing reaches desired consistency. Spoon over cooled bread.

Recipe Notes

  • This bread does not rise very much so you can fill the loaf pan pretty high without worrying that it will overflow in the oven.
  • If you have leftover batter, you can make muffins with it. Simply reduce the baking time for muffins to 20 minutes.
