Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add oil, yogurt, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the bowl. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined—no electric mixer needed.
Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour, then gently fold into the batter with a spatula.
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 28–33 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Lift out, dust with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and serve.
