Blueberry Yogurt Loaf

Have left-over yogurt? or want to use up the fresh berries before it goes bad?

This recipe takes only 10 minutes to prepare. A great nutritious option for breakfast and snack; and it helps "cleaning out my fridge" too. It is also a great idea to use those sour blueberries you got in this recipe, the sour taste will blend in with the cake, it actually tastes and smells flavorful, and personally thinks that it has no difference from using the sweet, ripened blueberries.

I found the yogurt in this recipe gives a firm texture and month-feel, unlike the regular cake recipes they have a lighter and fluffier texture.
