Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). For fan-forced ovens, set the temperature to 180°C (350°F).

Grease a loaf pan (ideally 21 x 11 x 7 cm / 8.3 x 4.5 x 2.75") with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of the measured flour. This light coating helps keep the berries suspended in the batter so they don't sink to the bottom.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the yoghurt, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and canola oil. Whisk gently until the batter is just incorporated; do not overmix.
