Into your zest and juice mixture, add 1/2 cup + 3 Tablespoons of milk (any kind), 1/4 cup canola oil, 2 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir it all together and set aside.

Combine your wet lemon mixture and your flour mixture and stir until combined. Fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
Transfer the batter (it will be thick!) into a greased bread pan and bake for 40-50 minutes until it is lightly browned and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely.
