Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon for flouring the berries
- 1 cup (125g) whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar divided
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled for 1-2 minutes
- 2 large eggs brought to room temperature
- ¾ cup full-fat sour cream or plain greek yogurt (2% or 4%), at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk both flours, baking powder, salt, and ⅔ cup sugar until combined.
- Add eggs, sour cream, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, whisking until just combined.
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour until lightly coated, then gently fold them into the batter using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let the pan cool on a rack for 5–10 minutes, then turn the loaf out to cool to room temperature before slicing.
Notes
Make sure to bring your eggs and yogurt to room temperature for better mixing.
If using frozen blueberries, handle them gently to avoid streaking in the batter.
Store leftover bread wrapped in plastic to keep it moist.
