Lemon Blueberry Bread

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups + 1 tbsp all purpose flour, divided
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 heaping cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • For the lemon glaze (Optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease well the bottom and sides of a 9×5″ loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat together yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla, and oil.
  3. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet, just until incorporated. In a separate bowl mix the blueberries with 1 Tbsp of flour and then gently fold them into the mixed batter. (I always save a few to stick on top of the loaf after I pour it into the pan).
  4. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 55 minutes – 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the glaze (Optional)

  7. Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over the top of the loaf. Allow to set/harden before serving.
