Lemon & Blueberry Loaf

One 23 × 13 cm loaf, about 10 slices, about 75 minutes. Bright and tart. The glaze is optional and adds sugar.

Before you start

Quantity Ingredient Method
oven Heat to 175 °C. Grease or line a 23 × 13 cm loaf pan.
150 g blueberries (fresh or frozen) Toss in 1 tbsp of the measured flour so it stays suspended.

Batter

Quantity Ingredient Method
2 eggs Whisk in a large bowl until slightly frothy. Whisk in the remaining wet ingredients until smooth.
240 g unsweetened soy yogurt ↑
0.8 dl maple syrup ↑
3 tbsp neutral oil ↑
2 lemons, zested ↑
3 tbsp lemon juice ↑
1 tsp vanilla extract ↑
150 g whole wheat flour (white whole wheat for a lighter crumb) Sift over the egg mixture (tip any bran left in the sieve back in).
30 g dairy-free vanilla protein powder ↑
1 tsp baking powder ↑
½ tsp baking soda ↑
¼ tsp salt ↑
45 g rolled oats Add and fold until just combined, with no dry streaks. Do not overmix.
15 g ground flaxseed ↑

Add-ins

Quantity Ingredient Method
floured blueberries Fold in last.
2 tbsp lemon juice Optional glaze: whisk together and drizzle over the cooled loaf.
2 tbsp powdered sugar ↑

Bake

Quantity Ingredient Method
batter Scrape into the pan and smooth the top. Bake 50–55 min until a skewer comes out clean. Cool 10 min in the pan, then turn out onto a rack.

Notes

  • Per slice: roughly 8–10 g protein and 3–4 g fiber.
  • Slice the cooled loaf, wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight or microwave 20–30 seconds from frozen.
  • Adapted from the original Weekly Loaf Rotation: Greek yogurt replaced with unsweetened soy yogurt, butter with oil; use a dairy-free vanilla protein powder (e.g. pea). If the batter looks stiff, add a spoonful more yogurt, since plant protein absorbs moisture.
  • Skip the glaze to keep sugar down.
