This Lemon Blueberry Loaf is a burst of flavor that will brighten your day. Here's how to make it:
**Ingredients:**
*For the Loaf:*
- 1 ½ cups plus 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

3. Sift together all the dry ingredients for the bread.
4. In a large bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients.

6. In a separate bowl, add the tablespoon of flour to the blueberries and gently fold them into the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
8. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
