Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)

1 tablespoon flour (to toss with blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 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. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Add Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  7. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour (to prevent sinking), then gently fold them into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
