Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan sprinkle with a bit of flour and set aside. Alternatively, you may line the pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, milk, egg, coconut oil, lemon extract, and lemon zest. Mix to combine until smooth and set aside.
- In another bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the bowl with dry ingredients. Using a spatula or spoon, mix well until a smooth batter is formed.
- In a small bowl, add one cup of the blueberries and toss them together with 1 tablespoon of flour. This step is important because it will help prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add the flour-coated blueberries to the batter, and gently mix them.
- Pour the batter into the greased pan (or parchment paper lined pan) Top with the remaining ¼ cup of blueberries. If using, sprinkle with the additional brown or cane sugar.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Check for doneness in the middle of the baked bread.
- Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before removing it from the pan onto a wire cooling rack.
- If you are going to top the bread with icing, you need to let the bread cool down completely for another hour. Once cooled, top with the prepared glaze*, slice, and enjoy.
- To make the glaze, in a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and lemon juice, and whisk to combine until a glaze forms. Pour over the bread using a spoon, or place the glaze in a plastic or Ziploc bag, make a small cut, and pipe the glazer over the bread.
