Indulge in a moist Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Loaf made with Greek yogurt, lemon, and blueberries. It’s the perfect morning or afternoon treat.

Ingredients (serves 8 | makes 10 slices)

  • 1 1/2 cups plain flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup greek yoghurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup oil (vegetable or olive)
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen is fine)
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to a temperature of 175°C. Thoroughly grease an 8.5×4.5×2.5 inch loaf pan using butter or an appropriate cooking spray. Subsequently, dust the pan lightly with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Once combined, set aside.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
  4. Gradually introduce the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredient mixture, whisking them together until they are uniformly combined.
  5. In a smaller bowl, gently coat the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. This procedure ensures that the blueberries remain suspended within the loaf and do not settle at the bottom. Subsequently, fold the blueberries into the batter with care.
  6. Transfer the prepared batter into the loaf pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and allow it to bake for approximately 50 minutes. However, it is crucial to note that the precise baking time may vary based on the specificities of the oven. It is advisable to verify the loaf’s readiness by inserting a toothpick into its centre. If the toothpick emerges clean, the baking process is complete. In some cases, the baking time may extend up to 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  7. During the baking process, prepare the lemon syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves and the liquid becomes clear. Set aside for later use.
  8. After baking, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool within the pan for approximately 10 minutes. Following this, transfer the loaf to a baking rack, ensuring that the rack is positioned over a baking sheet. With a skewer or toothpick, puncture the loaf in several places, then evenly pour the prepared lemon syrup over the loaf. Allow the loaf to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the icing sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and vanilla extract. If the glaze appears too thick, it can be thinned using milk, adding one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. Once the loaf has completely cooled, it can be uniformly drizzled with the lemon glaze. After allowing the glaze to set, the loaf is ready to be sliced and served.

  • Thrilled to see this recipe here, I’ll be making lemon loaf this afternoon. My toddler has become obsessed with it and has been saying lemon loaf at least once a day. Its my favourite baked good to have along side a coffee or tea, and it’s so easy to make. The hard part is waiting for it to cool completely before glazing

  • Omg yummm! This look amazing! Thanks so much for sharing it! I make banana bread and blueberry muffins for my kids over and over again and I think we are all getting sick of them so this will be a welcome change! I never used to be a big fruit in cake type person but I’m glad I’m acclimatising

  • I think this would be such a great thing for school lunch boxes, especially now the weather is a bit colder and it wouldn’t risk going off. I know I’ve looked at this before but haven’t made it – I think maybe I need to get my teen to make it themselves.

  • The look of this loaf alone is already making me salivate. It looks like it’s come straight out of a photoshoot from a magazine. Just gorgeous! It sounds so delicious and one that would be sure to impress any guest that tried this. Definitely one to keep bookmarked for when i need to bring a dish.

  • This looks absolutely great – what a good looking thing to have on the table for a morning or afternoon tea. It’s also a bit different from other sweet recipes I’ve looked at. It seems relatively healthy too, with blueberries and greek yoghurt. Thank you for this recipe, I like the unusual ones.

  • This Lemon and Blueberry Yoghurt Loaf looks absolutely delicious. I’d love a thick slice, still slightly warm, with a dollop of extra yoghurt would be so yum. Love the colour of the blueberries and the addition of lemon makes a perfect balance. A cup of coffee on the side, and I’d be in heaven.

  • OMG this looks and sounds divine and I imagine with the yoghurt it is moist. I’m glad it also says fresh lemons. Mum has the best lemon tree and fresh lemon juice is amazing. I feel like people don’t make enough cakes any more… well not now traditional, not exotic cakes

  • What an absolutely stunning looking loaf cake and such a great recipe. Lemon and blueberries go together SO well! I recently learned a tip; if you dust the berries in a little flour or icing sugar before folding them into the cake batter they won’t sink to the bottom; glad to see this recipe referring it too

  • The presentation of this delicious looking lemon and blueberry yoghurt loaf is very creative and artistic; well done! It really is the kind of sweet loaf that does not last long at a morning or afternoon tea. I do like to eat this type of loaf when it is a little warm.

  • Oh yum! My kids love blueberries and are always asking me to make blueberry muffins so I’m keen to give this loaf a go and try something different. Love the addition of greek yoghurt too. I often buy it but never seem to use it all so I’m always keen to find new recipes for it.

  • Lemon blue berry yoghurt loaves can be lovely ! I would prefer to make it a bit more healthy. The tip to coat the blueberries in flour to ensure that the blueberries remain suspended within the loaf and do not settle at the bottom is a great tip with which I have positive experiences (I do the same when using other fruits)
