Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 9/16 cups flour all-purpose
  • 1 1/16 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp milk for glaze

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prep : Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking during baking.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients : In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients : In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in Blueberries : Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake the Loaf : Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Lemon Glaze : In a small bowl, whisk together the icing sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency with more milk or sugar as needed.
  • Glaze and Serve : Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf, letting it cascade down the sides. Slice and serve this luscious, citrusy loaf with a cup of tea or coffee.
