Weight Watchers Lemon Blueberry Loaf

This Lemon Blueberry Loaf is a perfect balance of tart and sweet. The fresh lemon zest and juice infuse each bite with a bright, citrusy aroma that pairs beautifully with plump, juicy blueberries. Its soft, tender crumb melts in your mouth, while the gentle sweetness allows the natural flavors of the fruit to shine. Every slice feels like a delicate treat that’s both refreshing and satisfying.

Visually, the loaf is just as appealing as it is flavorful. Golden on the outside and speckled with vibrant blueberries inside, it invites you to enjoy a slice with a cup of tea or coffee. The loaf is versatile — it can be served plain, lightly toasted, or topped with a simple lemon glaze for an extra touch of indulgence. Its light texture and fresh flavor make it ideal for sharing without feeling overly rich.

Made with wholesome ingredients like Greek yogurt, applesauce, and fresh fruit, this loaf is a Weight Watchers-friendly delight that doesn’t compromise on taste. It’s easy to make, cozy, and perfect for any occasion — from breakfast on the go to an afternoon snack or a light dessert. The balance of tangy lemon and sweet blueberries delivers comforting, homemade flavors in a healthy, portion-controlled way.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat pastry flour for added fiber)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

• ½ cup granulated sweetener (like Splenda or sugar, adjust to taste)

• 2 large eggs

• 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Zest of 1 lemon

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (toss in 1 tsp flour to prevent sinking)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, sweetener, eggs, applesauce, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.

4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Fold in blueberries carefully to distribute evenly.

6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

7. Bake 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional: Drizzle a light glaze of powdered sugar mixed with lemon juice over the top for extra sweetness
