Ingredients
For the Bread:
- All-Purpose Flour (2 cups) – Gives the bread its soft structure.
- Baking Powder (2 tsp) – Helps it rise beautifully.
- Salt (½ tsp) – Enhances all the flavors.
- Granulated Sugar (¾ cup) – Just the right amount of sweetness.
- Eggs (2 large) – Adds richness and structure.
- Greek Yogurt (½ cup) – Keeps the bread moist and tender.
- Vegetable Oil (½ cup) – Adds moisture for a soft texture.
- Lemon Zest (1 tbsp) – Brings a fresh, citrusy kick.
- Lemon Juice (3 tbsp) – Enhances the bright lemon flavor.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) – Adds warmth and depth.
- Fresh Blueberries (1 cup) – Juicy bursts of sweetness in every bite.
- All-Purpose Flour (1 tbsp, for coating blueberries) – Prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
For the Lemon Glaze (Optional):
- Powdered Sugar (¾ cup) – For a smooth, sweet glaze.
- Lemon Juice (2 tbsp) – Gives the glaze a zesty flavor.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
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.
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.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread for extra lemony sweetness.
