– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
– 2 large eggs

Instructions
Making Lemon Blueberry Bread is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together yogurt (or sour cream), eggs, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5. Toss Blueberries: In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking in the batter.
6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
7. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare Lemon Glaze (Optional): If desired, mix together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice to create a glaze for drizzling over the cooled bread.
