In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and lemon zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant. Using an stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar mixture until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beat until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt. Mix until well combined.

Slowly add in the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 7
Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Cut into squares and serve.
