Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 minsCook Time1 hrTotal Time1 hr 10 mins
 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (2%)
 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temp.
 3/4 cup light brown sugar
 2 large eggs
 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
 1/4 tsp salt
 1 tsp baking soda
 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (not frozen) plus 1/3 cup for topping
1

Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit with the rack in the middle. Spray a 9X5” loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

2

In a medium bowl combine the bananas, yogurt, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. (Smooth out any clumps in the brown sugar before adding it in, I use clean fingers for this)

3

In a larger bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda.

4

Toss the 1 1/2 cup of blueberries in 1 tbsp of flour to prevent sinking.

5

Add the wet into the dry and stir to just combine, fold in the 1 1/2 cups of blueberries.

6

Pour the batter into the loaf pan, tap the pan on a surface to remove any bubbles.

7

Place the additional 1/3 cup of blueberries onto the top of the batter.

8

Bake for 60 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out virtually crumb free.

9

Cool on a rack for 30 minutes, gently remove from the pan using the parchment paper to help.
