Ingredients

Scale

225g (8oz) fat-free Greek yoghurt

3 eggs

100g (3 1/2oz) caster sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

200g (7oz) self-raising flour

250g (9oz) blueberries


Instructions

 

1. Preheat the oven to 180°c/160 °c fan (350°F), Gas Mark 4.

 

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yoghurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest and juice. Fold the flour through the mixture, then stir in the blueberries.

3. Scrape the mixture into a 900g (2lb) loaf tin lined with baking parchment and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 45 minutes.
