Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your bread pan by coating it with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and mix with sugar. Add yogurt, eggs, bananas, and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in the blueberries evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
