Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 6 ounces plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup liquid-state coconut oil can substitute with canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups smashed ripe bananas about 2 large or 3 small/medium
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt optional and to taste
  • 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries keep them frozen until ready to use; fresh may be substituted
  • ½ cup unsalted butter very well softened for blueberry butter
  • ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen; ensure frozen ones are well-drained

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, Greek yogurt, coconut oil, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, and mashed ripe bananas. Whisk until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Carefully fold in the frozen blueberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and blueberries. Mash until spreadable.
  • Slice the banana bread and serve warm with blueberry butter.
