Coffee and Dessert - Blueberry Banana Bread

What to do with 2 bananas? Not enough to make a traditional banana bread, so I went in search of a recipe for a blueberry banana bread. I found this one which had been adapted from Simply Recipes, and it calls for 2 bananas and uses Greek yogurt in place of part of the butter. I didn't have plain yogurt, so I used a mango yogurt with 50% less sugar and it worked well. It makes a delicious moist bread, and it didn't last long in my house.  I look forward to trying it again with other fruit yogurts.

Blueberry Banana Bread

2 ripe bananas, smashed

1/3 cup Greek yogurt

1/3 cup butter, melted

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

pinch of salt

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup blueberries

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, butter the parchment paper too. (Lining the pan with parchment paper ensures that the bottom of the bread will not get stuck.)

2. In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, Greek yogurt and melted butter. Mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix just enough to blend ingredients; do not over-mix, the lumps will work themselves out.

3. Add whole blueberries to the batter and mix them in to distribute evenly through the batter.

4. Pour the batter in the pan, bake for 1 hour (until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean). Cool on rack. Remove bread from pan. Slice and serve.
