1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup oil (I used melted coconut but you can use canola or vegetable)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup plain Greek yogurt, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
juice from 1 lemon (around 3 tablespoons)
zest from 1 lemon
1 cup blueberries, fresh tossed in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (can substitute with frozen but leave them frozen and do not thaw)
Glaze (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Toss fresh blueberries together with one tablespoon of flour. Set aside. (If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw and add at the end)
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar. Slowly beat in vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients using a spatula just until smooth. Be careful not to over-mix or the loaf will bake up tough.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the loaf pan. Remove from loaf pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Can serve alone warm or make the glaze.
Make the Glaze- Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Add more or less juice depending on how thick you want the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze on top of cooled bread.
