Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh blackberries, rinsed and patted dry
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.
- Mix in the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blackberries with a spatula, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve the Lemon Blackberry Bread on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of lemon glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Enjoy your homemade Lemon Blackberry Bread with family and friends!
