Ingredients
  

Loaf

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour* plus 1 Tb. flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp lemon extract
  • 1 cup sugar*
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil*
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries

Icing

  • 2 tb lemon juice from same lemon
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Loaf

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x5" loaf pan with cooking spray very liberally.
  • In a great big bowl, whisk together the dry stuff: flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the wet stuff: greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon extract, eggs, sugar, and oil, Whisk together until well combined.
  • Add the wet stuff to the dry stuff. Stir with a spatula until just barely combined.
  • In a separate small bowl, add one tablespoon of flour to the blueberries and coat them. This will keep them from all sinking to the bottom. Then, add the blueberries to the batter. Gently fold them in. Pour the loaf batter into the 9x5 pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Then, tent the top with foil and bake another 20 minutes. Check after a total of 45 minutes! Then keep checking with a toothpick every 5 minutes until the toothpick comes out clean. Some of my loaves take 45 minutes, some take 55 minutes.

Icing

  • In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar. Then, add a little bit of lemon jiuce at a time until the icing is as thick or thin as you like it. Once th loaf is cooled, drizzle it on. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

* A star denotes that the blog post is full of notes on that ingredient.  I have successfully substituted some of the white flour for white whole wheat, sugar for stevia, and oil for applesauce.  If you would like to do that I would highly suggest not going more than 1/2 and 1/2.
