Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for tossing blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Optionally, line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas. Whisk until fully combined and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf during baking.
Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the banana blueberry bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve on its own or with a smear of butter for added indulgence. Enjoy!
