Jean’s blueberry quickbread
If you want to healthy this one up a bit, you can substitute some whole wheat flour for part of the white, but the flavors are so delicate and sweet in this quickbread that I would just recommend making it with unbleached white flour and planning on it not being 100% healthy!
Note that if you use frozen blueberries, your bread won’t come out clean like in the picture above…it’ll be largely stained blue. Keep that in mind if presentation is really important :-)
Jean’s Blueberry Quickbread
1-3/4 c flour
2/3 c sugar
2 t baking powder
2t lemon peel
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1-1/2 c blueberries, unthawed if frozen
8 oz lemon yogurt, or plain yogurt and a splash of lemon juice
1 large egg
2 T oil
Mix flour through salt together in a large bowl. Gently fold in the blueberries. Beat yogurt through oil together and add to dry ingredients, stirring gently until just moistened. Spoon into a greased loaf pan, and sprinkle the top with 1T sugar for decoration if desired. Bake for 50 min at 375. Let cool for 5 minutes, and then remove from the pan to cool.

Another Yum-Yum sounding recipe, Cyndi! Anything with blueberries appeals to me. And we’re finding out from the researchers that blueberries are very good for us.
