Ingredients

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 /2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup honey (or agave)
1/4 cup 0% fat greek yogurt (I like to use Fage 0%)

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the honey (or agave), greek yogurt, applesauce, eggs, and lemon juice. Once the wet ingredients are mixed, slowly add in the dry ingredients until a batter forms.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries in a little flour (this will help them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf). Mix the flour coated blueberries and lemon zest into the batter until well mixed.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan evenly and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick can come out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

If you want to freeze leftovers, make sure the loaf is completely cooled and then wrap in plastic wrap and place into a freezer bag. The loaf can be frozen for up to 6 months and when you’re ready to eat, take the loaf out 24 hours before serving and defrost in the fridge.
