Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
• 150 grams plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 150 grams fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the 250 grams of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, applesauce, yogurt, and egg. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest into the wet mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the loaf dense.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the 1 tablespoon of flour to coat. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.

Step 7

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring that they are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice the loaf into 8 servings and enjoy your low-fat blueberry treat, perfect for breakfast or as a healthy snack!
