  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

For the Bread

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup oil or softened butter

For the Glaze (Optional)

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Bread Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease well the bottom and sides of a 9×5" loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat sugar and oil (or softened butter) until well combined. Add yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla.
  • Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet, just until incorporated. In a separate bowl mix the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and then gently fold them into the mixed batter.
  • 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, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze (Optional)

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over the top of the cooled loaf.

Notes

High Altitude: add 2 tablespoons extra flour. Freezing Instructions: Allow bread to cool completely then wrap in plastic wrap and place in freezer safe container or bag. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator or at room temperature. You can swap out the blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, cranberries or diced strawberries.
