Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries if using frozen, do not thaw
  • 1 tbsp 1 tablespoon flour for tossing blueberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest optional
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter, then stir in Greek yogurt. Add remaining dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking. Gently fold into batter.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Drizzle over cooled loaf. Let glaze set before slicing.

Notes

For best results, do not thaw frozen blueberries before folding them into the batter.
You can add a little extra lemon zest to the glaze for additional flavor.
