Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (175℃). Grease and flour an 8.5×4.5×2.5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients, whisking just until blended.
Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then fold them gently into the batter.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 50–70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While baking, prepare syrup by heating ⅓ cup lemon juice with 1 tablespoon sugar until sugar dissolves.
Let loaf cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack over a baking sheet. Poke holes in top and pour syrup over loaf.
Cool completely. Prepare glaze by whisking icing sugar, ¼ cup lemon juice, and vanilla (add milk if needed).
Drizzle glaze over cooled loaf, slice, and serve.

Notes

Use Meyer lemons for a slightly sweeter, less tart flavor.
Substitute melted butter for vegetable oil for a richer taste (omit syrup to avoid sogginess).
This batter can be baked into muffins—regular: 25–30 min, mini: 12–15 min.
For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Skip the glaze for a less sweet loaf, perfect with tea.
Store tightly wrapped at room temperature up to 3 days, or freeze unglazed loaf up to 4 months.
