Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 2 cups all purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon to coat the blueberries
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup vanilla or plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries plus more for the top of the bread (can substitute frozen although bread may be streaked blue)
For the Pan
  • 1 cooking spray

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Loaf pan
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the 2 cups of flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Place granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until the mixture is fluffy and well blended, about 1 minute.
  4. Add mashed banana, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla. Beat until blended. Add the flour mixture and beat at low speed just until combined and moist.
  5. Place the blueberries in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour and toss to coat.
  6. Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter. Spoon the batter into an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Press additional blueberries into the top of the batter for decoration.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the bread for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack, then remove the bread from the pan.
  8. Cool completely on a wire rack.
