Moist Lemon Blueberry Loaf with Lemon Glaze
servings
This moist lemon blueberry loaf with lemon glaze is bright, fluffy, and so easy to make. Fresh blueberries, real lemon, and a simple glaze that takes it over the top.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted substitute with 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce if you want to make lighter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1½ cups fresh blueberries
For the Optional Glaze*:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons skim milk
- ½ tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together.
- In a large bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, melted butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- In a small mixing bowl, toss the blueberries in the reserved 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold these into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, (sprinkle with sugar before baking, optional) and bake for 35-45 minutes, depending on your oven. Check the loaf at 35 minutes to see if a cake tester comes out clean in the center of the loaf. If not, reset the timer in 5-minute intervals.
- When it comes out of the oven, allow the loaf pan to rest for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before flipping it out of the pan.
- While the loaf is cooling, make the (optional) glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and lemon zest in a small mixing bowl.
- Cool the loaf completely before drizzling the (optional) glaze over the loaf and slicing it into 8 pieces.
Notes
Tip: For more of a fresh lemon taste, bump up the lemon zest! You can also use fresh lemon juice instead of the bottled lemon juice.
Tip: If you decide to make the optional glaze (which I wholeheartedly encourage), the calorie count is upped to 197 per slice and the WWP+ goes up to 6.
