Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Zest of 1 large lemon

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 cup fresh blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)

1 tablespoon flour (for coating blueberries)

Optional: Lemon glaze (1 cup powdered sugar mixed with 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

    Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.

          Incorporate Yogurt and Lemon: Add the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth and creamy.

            Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

              Coat the Blueberries: In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.

                Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

                  Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

                    Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be lightly golden.

                      Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                        Glaze (Optional): For an extra zesty kick, mix the powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and drizzle it over the cooled loaf. Let it set before slicing.

                          Serve your delightful Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Loaf warm or at room temperature, and enjoy a burst of flavor with every slice!
