Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry

For the Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top is golden brown.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once the bread is completely cooled, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  12. Enjoy slices of this delicious lemon blueberry bread with a cup of tea or coffee, or simply savor it on its own for a delightful treat!
