Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon flour for coating blueberries

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

    2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    3. In another bowl, whisk the greek yogurt, melted butter, sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

    4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing.

    5. Toss the blueberries with the tablespoon of flour, then fold them into the batter gently.

    6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

    7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, covering loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.

    8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
