Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Milk, as needed (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8.5×4.5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter. Gently fold them into the prepared batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While baking, heat lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
- Let the loaf cool in its pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Poke small holes in it using a toothpick and pour syrup evenly over top. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together icing sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. If too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Drizzle glaze over cooled loaf. Let set before slicing.
