Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Bread

Here I go again, with my third installment of things of the blueberry lemon flavor. What can I say this house cant get enough of the combo, the boys keep eating it up! So I came to making this bread since I had some Fage Greek yogurt that I needed to use up, along with some fresh berries. The loaf came out amazingly moist and sooo delish. For sure a keeper in my book.
Just stuffed to the brim with plump blueberries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Then look at the beautiful glazed top!!!

Recipe Adapted from Sweet Pea's Kitchen

For the bread
1 1/2 cups for flour plus one Tbs. Divided
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Plain 2% Fage Greek yogurt

Zest of 2 lemons
3 Large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries rinsed

For the syrup

1/3 fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup of sugar

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2-3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice

Grease a loaf pan and then dust with a little flour
In a med bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.

In a smal bowl toss the 1 TBS. of flour with the blueberries, then fold the berries into the mix.
Pour into loaf pan and bake for 50-55 mins until set in the middle and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 mins in pan then put on a rack to cool more.
While the loaf is cooling make the lemon syrup in a small pan over med heat.

Brush the syrup on the loaf and let it soak in as it cools.
When the loaf is cooled make the glaze by whisking the sugar and juice together and pour that over the loaf and let it set for 10 mins...then dig in!!
