Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour (300 grams)
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda (4.5 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt (9 grams)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (56.7 grams) melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup sugar (148.5 grams)
  • 3/4 cup yogurt or sour cream (170.25 grams)
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 3 very ripe bananas mashed well
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract (9.3 grams)
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen but unthawed (155 grams)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 by 5 inch bread pan with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
    2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • In a large bowl whisk together the butter and sugar. Then whisk in the yogurt, eggs, bananas, and vanilla.
    4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup yogurt, 2 eggs, 3 very ripe bananas, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Gently add the flour mixture to the liquid ingredients, folding them together until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
  • Gently stir in the blueberries. The batter will be very thick.
    1 cup blueberries
  • Pour the batter into the bread pan and bake for 65 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
  • Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove and transfer to a cooling rack for an hour before slicing.
  • Because of the fresh blueberries, this recipe won't last as long as a traditional banana bread. You want to store this in an air tight clear container and eat within two to three days.
