Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt recommended for extra moisture)
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and sugar to ensure even distribution.
- Incorporate dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
- Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt to enhance moisture and add a richer texture.
- For added brightness, incorporate some lemon zest into the batter.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent color bleeding.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Store wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
