Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or Halal buttermilk)

  • 1 large lemon, juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine the eggs, vegetable oil, yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding them together gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they’re well distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
  7. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!
