Lemon Blueberry Loaf Weight Watchers Ingredients:- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1/2 cup Truvia Baking Blend (or another sugar substitute)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/3 cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking)
Lemon Blueberry Loaf Weight Watchers Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsweetened applesauce and Truvia Baking Blend together until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
