Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1 large egg

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

⅓ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Mix until fully combined.

        Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Transfer to pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

              Bake the bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                Cool down: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Slice & serve: Once cooled, slice the bread and serve. Enjoy it plain, or with a pat of butter or cream cheese for an extra treat!
