  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 oz (57 g) unsalted butter, softened

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Lightly coat the blueberries with a small amount of this flour mixture to help prevent sinking.

Add Egg and Yogurt:
Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the yogurt until smooth.

Combine:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Fold in Berries:
Gently fold in most of the blueberries.

Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Scatter the remaining blueberries over the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool:
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Optional Lemon Glaze

Mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Drizzle over the cooled loaf before serving.
