Description
A moist and zesty quick bread featuring fresh blueberries and lemon, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.
- In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: lemon zest, lemon juice, yogurt, eggs, and oil.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined; do not over-mix.
- Toss the blueberries with a spoonful of flour to prevent them from sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle a little sugar on top for a crunchy finish.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, checking at 45 minutes. The loaf should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted should come out with a few crumbs.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for a bit before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze slices for longer storage.
