Pre heat oven to 180°C.

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder and salt.

In another bowl mash the bananas with a fork.  To the bananas, add the eggs, vanilla, maple syrup and combine well.  Then add the yoghurt and whisk until no lumps.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, add the wet mixture and fold gently til combined.  Fold through the blueberries.

Bake in a greased loaf tin for 1 hour.  Cool in tin for 10 mins, then on a wire rack.

Notes

  • This freezes well, just cut into slices first. 
  • Bananas Not Ripe Enough? if your bananas are too green, there’s a method to make them softer. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 150°C. Once cooled, the insides should be nice and soft.
  • Don’t over-mix – over-mixing the batter can cause the gluten to develop. This can cause the bread to become too dense when baked.
