This blueberry-studded banana bread is tender, moist, and uncomplicated to bake. Best of all, it's as delicious fresh out of the oven as it is later re-warmed in butter.

Ingredients


  • Cooking spray

  • 4 tablespoons 

    unsalted butter

  • 1 1/2 cups 

    all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon 

    baking soda

  • very ripe large bananas

  • large egg

  • 1/2 cup 

    packed light brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup 

    Greek yogurt or sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon 

    vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon 

    kosher salt

  • 1 1/4 cups 

    fresh or frozen blueberries, divided (about 5 1/2 ounces, do not thaw)

Description

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 8 1/2x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.

  2. Microwave 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments until melted, 40 to 50 seconds total. (Alternatively, melt in a small saucepan over medium heat.) Set aside to cool until just warm.

  3. Place 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
