Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed well
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen and unthawed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Whisk in the yogurt or sour cream, beaten eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the blueberries gently. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool for about 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and flavor.
- If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer without thawing.
- Measure flour carefully to avoid a dry loaf.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and eat within 2 to 3 days because of the blueberries.
