Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice

¾ cup plain Greek yogurt

⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

2 large eggs

¼ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

2. In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Toss blueberries with a tablespoon of the dry mix to prevent sinking.

4. In another bowl whisk Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until smooth.

5. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined, then fold in blueberries.

6. Pour batter into the pan, smooth the top, and tap to release air bubbles.

7. Bake for 45–55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden.

8. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.

9. Optional: drizzle with a light lemon glaze or sprinkle extra lemon zest.
