Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Once the loaf is completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.
