  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey or maple syrup; mix until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
