Lemon Blueberry Bread
Lemon Blueberry Bread
For the bread
1-1/2 cups + 1 tbsp all purpose flour , divided
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon 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 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease well the bottom and sides of a 9x5" loaf pan.
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.
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).
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 55 minutes - 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze (Optional)
Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over the top of the loaf. Allow to set/harden before serving.
Recipe Notes
Make sure to add extra flour for high altitude!
