Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- Zest of 2 lemons
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups fresh blueberries
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, tossing them in a tablespoon of flour beforehand to prevent sinking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Grate fresh lemon zest rather than dried for more vibrancy.
- Do not overmix the batter; folding gently keeps it fluffy.
- Enhance the citrus flavor with lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
