Lemon, Blueberry and Yoghurt Loaf Ingredients

150 grams unsalted butter

200 g caster sugar

2 eggs

150 g  (½ cup) Greek-style yoghurt

Zest and juice from 1 medium lemon

225g (1 ½ cup) self-raising flour

150 grams fresh or frozen blueberries

Note: for added protein, substitute ½ cup of the flour with almond meal.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160C. (fan-forced)
2. Place butter, sugar, eggs, yoghurt, lemon zest and juice in a bowl and whisk to combine.
3. Add flour and whisk until well combined.
4. Fold through blueberries (toss blueberries in a tablespoon of flour if using frozen. This will stop them from sinking to the bottom) and spoon into a loaf tin lined with baking paper.
5. Smooth the top and bake for 1hour – 1hr 10 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
6. Allow to cool before transferring to a wire rack.
