Blueberry yoghurt loaf ingredients
- 150g butter, melted
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup thick Greek yoghurt
- zest of one large lemon
- 1½ cups self raising flour
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 125g fresh blueberries, rinsed (plus extra for serving)
- 1 tbs icing sugar for dusting
Method
- Preheat oven to 160°C and prepare a 21cm x 9cm loaf tin – lightly grease it and line with non-stick baking paper.
- Place the melted butter, sugar, eggs, Greek yoghurt, lemon zest and vanilla in a bowl and beat or whisk to combine until smooth.
- Add the flour and beat until well combined and free of any lumps. Carefully fold through the blueberries and spoon into your prepared loaf tin.
- Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for one hour or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with icing sugar and top with extra blueberries to serve.
Notes
- Upon cutting, you might find that many of your blueberries have sunk to the bottom of your loaf – that’s just the nature of the beast really – I assure you, it’s still delicious!
- I’ve used my EasiYo Mini Yoghurt Maker for the yoghurt – it’s perfect for making smaller yoghurt quantities to eat and bake with and creates yoghurt so thick and creamy your spoon can stand up in it!
