  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) melted butter
  • 1 tbsp. lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 4 oz (115g) plain Greek yogurt (regular should work too)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch (23x13cm) loaf pan. Wash the blueberries and let dry a bit.

Pour the batter in the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Let cool.
