In a bowl, combine the self-raising flour, Greek yoghurt, blueberries, and maple syrup (if using). Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough ball forms.
Shape the dough into a single bun. Place the bun in the air fryer basket and cook on the air fry setting at 180°C for 10 minutes. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15 minutes.
While the bun cools, prepare the icing by mixing the icing sugar with the lemon juice until a runny glaze forms.
Once the bun is cool, drizzle the runny icing over the top (if using) and serve immediately.
If you don't have self-raising flour, use plain flour and add 0.5 tsp of baking powder to the mix to ensure the bun rises correctly.
For a gluten-free version, substitute the self-raising flour with a gluten-free blend and add 1/3 tsp of xanthan gum for better structure and texture.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before mixing into the dough, as this can make the dough too wet.
