This simple Blueberry Yogurt Bread is moist, soft with deliciously golden edges and makes for a great snack or breakfast bread. Made in one bowl and this yogurt bread is also gluten-free and nut-free.
This yogurt bread is fool proof and one of my most favorite snacking breads to make and eat right now. It is a great quick bread recipe that is simple, made with gluten-free ingredients and it is a crowd pleaser. It is super flavorful yet simple and it tastes amazing for a sweet snack any time of the day.
And for anyone wondering what in the world yogurt bread even is – it’s a bread recipe made with yogurt! Sounds simple but still kind of confusing. The yogurt adds the best texture to this bread and it also adds some healthy fats and protein depending on the yogurt you use. It makes for a delicious brunch recipe if you are hosting a brunch or want to bring a friend something sweet. And it’s an easy one bowl kind of recipe.
Yogurt is a great way to make a more tender bread too. It’s light and fluffy and moist and the edges are perfectly golden when baked!
Tip: you can use any berries you want but I prefer frozen blueberries for this yogurt bread.
What ingredients you need to make yogurt bread:
- Large eggs – I haven’t tested a flax egg or egg replacement
- Coconut sugar – this is the main form of sweetener in this recipe. I don’t recommend a sub! It adds great texture and flavor too
- Vanilla extract – a must for added flavor!
- Avocado oil or liquid coconut oil – really any liquid oil can work in this recipe. The more neutral in flavor – the better
- Gluten-free all purpose flour – if not gluten-free, use all purpose baking flour
- Full-fat yogurt – I usually use a plain greek yogurt. Since we sweeten this with coconut sugar, it doesn’t need to be sweetened yogurt
- Frozen blueberries – You can use fresh blueberries or really any berries you want
How to make blueberry yogurt bread:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line/grease a bread dish with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, coconut sugar and vanilla for 1 minute
- Then add in the oil and mix again
- Mix in the flour, baking powder and baking soda until smooth
- Then mix in yogurt
- Fold in blueberries to batter and pour batter to prepared baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean (if browning too much, cover with foil and continue to bake)
- Allow the bread to cool for a few then slice and enjoy!
Tips for success:
- This yogurt bread freezes very well! I wrap it in foil and add in large ziplock bag. It can stay good for up to 2 months
- I prefer using a full-fat greek yogurt for this. I typically do unsweetened since we are sweetening it with coconut sugar
- The blueberries here can technically be optional and you can swap them with any other berry you are craving!
- If the bread is browning too much when you are baking, cover it with foil and allow it to continue to bake. The bread should be golden but of course use your best judgement!

*Store in fridge for 5 days or freezer for 2 months. I reheat in microwave or eat cold (but you know I love my cold baked goods!)

This might be the best thing you’ve made yet! I can’t stop eating it and I made it on a Sunday afternoon with the intention of having for my family for the week. Whoops!
Hannah
I made this on Sunday and it was the perfect addition to breakfast for my 14 month old and myself! Love that it’s lightly sweetened and doesn’t leave you feeling like you got hit by a sugar bomb. We’ve been eating it warmed in the microwave with a little bit of butter on top 🙂
Rachel
yay!!!!

I made this today and it is an all time favorite. I made it on a whim and didn’t want to go out and buy what I didn’t have so I subbed 0% Chobani for full fat yogurt and it turned out great. I ended up cooking the bread closer to 50 minutes and it came out perfectly!!
Rachel
yay!!! x
Olivia
I’ve made it twice already. Absolutely delicious!!!
Melissa
Have you tried to bake it with almond flour? Thank you
Rachel
i havent!
Madee
I tried making this with flax eggs and it did not turn out. I am going to try again with regular eggs! It smelled soooooo good but never baked through.
Esaysee
Love love love.
Making it a 2nd time AS I TEXT. 😍
Any tips on how to make it a little less moist? Aside from cooking a little longer.
Rachel
YAYY!!!
Lisa
Delicious! I’ve already made this bread 2 times in 2 weeks and the whole family loves it!
Rachel

So good! I had to bake it for about 65 minutes, maybe because I used frozen blueberries, but omg so delicious! Ate it with butter on top!
Rachel

AR
Love this recipe, have made it twice this week! I found I had to bake it for closer to 75 mins though!
Rachel
love!!! hm yeah could happen depending on the yogurt you use and strength of the oven. I’ve learned our oven is pretty strong
Renee
Made into muffins, so light and fluffy, absolutely delicious! Will definitely make again.
Rachel

Delicious!!! So moist. Reminds me of pound cake. My husband and 7 year old granddaughter loved it. Making my second loaf today because we ate it all and are sad. LoL
Erica
Could you use melted butter instead of the oil please? Thx!
Rachel
