Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for coating blueberries)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, folding gently until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Gently fold flour-coated blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool loaf in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth for the glaze.
  10. Drizzle lemon glaze over completely cooled loaf. Let glaze set for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Coat blueberries in flour to prevent sinking; use fresh lemon juice and zest for best flavor; mix gently to avoid overmixing; check doneness with toothpick at 45 minutes; store in airtight container for freshness.
