Step 4: Make the Wet Batter

Add the oil, eggs, yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the lemon-sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula just until combined. Avoid overmixing—this keeps the loaf soft and tender.

Step 6: Prepare the Blueberries

Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf during baking.

Step 7: Fold in the Blueberries

Carefully fold the floured blueberries into the batter, using gentle motions to avoid crushing them.

Step 8: Bake the Loaf

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 10 minutes.

Step 9: Cool the Loaf

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.

Making the Lemon Glaze

Step 10: Mix the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Adjust the consistency by adding more lemon juice (thinner) or powdered sugar (thicker). Stir in lemon zest if using.

Step 11: Glaze the Loaf

Once the loaf has cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze generously over the top. Let it drip naturally down the sides for a beautiful finish.
