Let’s dive into the heart of this recipe. I’ve kept it as simple and straightforward as possible, just the way I like it on a busy weekday evening.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry mix.
3. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined.
5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. You want a few lumps to remain for the best texture.
6. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat, then gently fold them into the batter. This trick keeps them from sinking.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover it with foil.
9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

The aroma that fills your kitchen while this loaf bakes is nothing short of heavenly. It’s the smell of love and lemon, and it’s worth every minute.
