Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
  • 1 cup sugar (or honey)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 large lemon (zest)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, sugar (or honey), eggs, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the bread dense.
  5. Fold in the blueberries carefully to prevent them from breaking apart.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Chef's Notes

For best results, use fresh blueberries. Can substitute honey for sugar.
