Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Add yogurt, eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the blueberries gently. Ensure they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and tap it on the countertop to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 65-70 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For maximum sweetness, use very ripe bananas. Avoid over-mixing for a light texture. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter. Cool completely before slicing to enhance flavor.
