Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (252g)
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup granulated sugar (170g)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (4oz) or sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (2oz or 57g) melted and cooled slightly
3 ripe bananas about 1 and ½ cups mashed
1 cup fresh blueberries (6oz) plus a few more for the top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a nonstick 9 by 5-inch loaf pan and set aside. If using a regular (not nonstick) loaf pan, grease and flour the bottom only.
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large measuring cup lightly whisk the eggs until blended. Add the yogurt, vanilla and butter and whisk until combined. Mash the bananas with a fork until no large lumps remain. Add the mashed bananas to the yogurt mixture and fold together with a spatula. Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until blended. Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Scatter a handful of fresh blueberries on top if desired.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with no wet batter. Moist crumbs are okay.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes then remove to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or room temperature.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Refrigerate or freeze for longer storage
Add finely grated lemon zest to the batter if desired
