This bread is BANANAS B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Like, literally. Because it’s banana bread.

But, I just HAD TO. Even though that song is so 5 years ago, it just started playing through my head while I was baking.

There may have been some dancing around the kitchen, pretending my whisk was a microphone.

There also may have been some face planting into the floor. Socks + hardwood + dancing around like a crazy person don’t really GO.

Why this is the BEST Banana Bread

Here at FFF, let’s just say that banana bread is NO stranger!

This healthy banana and blueberry bread recipe is going to have you hooked because, similar to healthy greek yogurt brownies, I used greek yogurt to make them tender, moist and not dry at all. The ingredients used to make this recipe are healthy, eliminating refined sugar but not eliminating fabulous tasting banana bread! You are going to love it!

Healthy Ingredient Swaps

Making your own healthy blueberry banana bread at home is super simple and now, you can even make it HEALTHY! If I’m offered banana bread, it’s always a YES from me, especially when it is made with better-for-you ingredients. Here are a few healthy swaps I made when creating this recipe:

Flour: Instead of regular all purpose flour, I used white whole wheat flour to make it a bit healthier.

Sweetener: Rather than using refined white sugar, this recipe is sweetened with a combination of coconut sugar and honey.Fat: While a lot of banana bread recipes call for butter or oil, this one is made with greek yogurt which contains healthy fat and protein!

How to make Healthy Blueberry Banana Bread

Prepare

Turn on the oven and let it fully preheat. Spray a loaf pan with cooking oil spray and set it aside.

Mix

In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and stir with a wire whisk to thoroughly combine. In a larger bowl, add the honey, vanilla, banana, eggs and greek yogurt and stir to combine well. Stir in the dry ingredients, then gently fold in the blueberries.

Bake

Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place it in the oven and bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

DEVOUR

Let the bread cool for a bit in the pan, then turn it over on a cooling rack to finish cooling. Slice, serve and devour!

Storage Suggestions

This banana bread recipe is fantastic because it lasts well in the fridge and also does great when frozen! To store it in the fridge, simply wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and use up within a week. To freeze it, I recommend slicing it into portions, then placing each slice in a separate plastic bag or piece of plastic wrap. Place all the bags or wrapped portions into a larger freezer bag and label it with the date. The banana bread should last up to 3 months when frozen.

Ingredients

1 3/4 Cup White Whole Wheat Flour 210g
1 Tbsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/2 CupCoconut sugar 100g
1/4 Cup Honey 80g
1 tsp Pure Vanilla extract
1 Cup Mashed banana 225g
2 Eggs
3/4 Cup Plain Greek yogurt 172g, I used Non-Fat
1 Cup Organic blueberries 155g

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a9x5x3 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly.
Combine the honey, vanilla, bananas, eggs, and Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly then add in the dry mixture. Fold in the blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes* or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

*Kelly’s recipe says to bake 60 minutes. I baked mine 50 minutes and it was still a little brown on the outside, so watch it closely during the last minutes of baking time.
Kelly’s Notes:
I often bake this bread the night before and serve it the following morning for breakfast or brunch. Simply let the loaf cool in the loaf pan for an hour after baking, cover it with foil, and refrigerate overnight. It makes slicing the bread much easier and makes mornings a breeze!
