Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup non-dairy milk
½ cup non-dairy yogurt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
3 ½ Tablespoons lemon juice
zest of one lemon
¾ cup blueberries
1-2 Tablespoons all purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 365° F
Add the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda) into a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
In a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients (milk, yogurt, vanilla, applesauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest), and combine well.
Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet and mix well as you go.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1-2 Tablespoons of flour, ensuring to coat them completely.
Add the blueberries gently into the batter and fold in. You can leave some blueberries out to place on top once in the baking pan if desired.
Using a lightly greased loaf pan, pour in the batter and place extra blueberries gently on top.
Bake for 55-60 minutes and check with a toothpick to ensure it comes out clean.
Let cool for about 10 minutes and then gently remove to a cooling rack.
Slice when cooled and serve.

Notes

Can I use gluten free flour?

Yes!

Can I substitute dairy for non dairy milk and yogurt?

Yes, this was made with both non dairy yogurt (cashew) and
non dairy milk (cashew).

Can I add other fruits?

Of course, have fun with it.
Strawberries, raspberries both work well, but blueberries and lemon just
seem to click!
