Greek Yogurt Blueberry Banana Bread

Let winter break begin!

One of the first things I did after getting home from school was to bake. Best start to break ever? You betcha!


I've had my eye on this recipe for quite some time now, so when I got home and saw a few very ripe bananas and some frozen blueberries in the freezer, a rather large smile appeared on my face. Greek Yogurt Blueberry Banana Bread, get ready to be made! (And then devoured in no time!)

Doesn't it just look divine?


This is the first time I've made bread with something other than chocolate chips in addition to the bananas, and as much as I love chocolate, the blueberries did an excellent job of replacing the chocolate chips. I will definitely be making this again!
