Ingredients
For the Loaf:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For the Lemon Syrup:
⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
For the Lemon Glaze:
1 cup icing sugar
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Milk, as needed to adjust the consistency of the glaze
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8.5×4.5×2.5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, then lightly dust with flour. 🧈
2️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside. 🍚
3️⃣ In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 cup granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup vegetable oil until smooth. 🍋
4️⃣ Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined. 👩🍳
5️⃣ In a small bowl, toss 1 ½ cups blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. 🫐
6️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary; it could take up to 1 hour and 10 minutes. ⏳
7️⃣ While the loaf is baking, prepare the lemon syrup. In a small saucepan, combine ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Heat until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is clear. Set aside. 🍋
8️⃣ Once the loaf is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a baking rack over a baking sheet. Poke holes in the loaf with a skewer and pour the lemon syrup evenly over it. Allow the loaf to cool completely. 🌬️
9️⃣ For the lemon glaze, whisk together 1 cup icing sugar, ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. If too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time to achieve the desired consistency. Once the loaf is cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Let it set before slicing and serving. 🍰
