If you worry about ripened bananas on your kitchen counter, Greek yogurt blueberry banana bread is the right recipe. This recipe is the best to use leftover ripened bananas, most enjoyably.
This Greek yogurt blueberry banana bread is delicious, and I often make it in my kitchen. This recipe yields soft and spongy banana flavored with surprises of blueberries in between...yummy it is.
Somehow, I am addicted to the taste and flavor of banana bread. It is mild in sweetness, soft and moist, with visible traces of banana.
Being a mom, it was hurting me whenever I threw the ripe bananas into the trash bin. But after I tried this recipe, I started reserving bananas to get ripe.
If you like to add nuts, then add them as the topping before baking.

How to make Greek yogurt blueberry banana bread
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and dust the baking tray.
Hint: For Grease and Dusting--Drizzle a few drops of oil inside the baking tray, using a hand, spread it evenly to coat the pan. Then sprinkle flour and tap the pan so that the flour coats the oil coating of the tray.
2. Take to 2 ripe bananas.
3. Using a fork, gently mash the banana. It is okay if there are little smaller chunks.
4. In a mixing bowl, add eggs and beat them until they become frothy.
Hint: I was beating it for a minute using my electric beater.
5. Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, Greek yogurt, sugar, vegetable oil, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold the batter and combine them well. Then add mashed banana and again give it a gentle fold.
6. Add ¾th Cup of fresh blueberries to the batter and reserve ¼th cup of berries for the topping. Give it a gentle fold again so the berries spread evenly to the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the lined/greased and dusted baking tray. Drop the remaining blueberries over the top.
Hint: These dropping blueberries will be the topping of our bread, so be creative in placing them.
8. In 350°F for 30 minutes or until the inserted toothpick is clean.
