Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Combine & Add Blueberries

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Toss the blueberries in 1 tbsp of flour (to prevent sinking) and gently fold them into the batter.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Make the Glaze (Optional)

Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread for extra lemony sweetness.
