Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
2 eggs
2 medium ripe bananas mashed
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
2 Tablespoon chia seeds divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan/tin. (I grease mine with olive oil spray). Line the pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the olive oil, eggs, mashed bananas, greek yogurt, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with a fork.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
Pour the bowl of dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients.
Fold the blueberries and 1 Tablespoon of chia seeds into the batter. ( If adding frozen blueberries, do not thaw, just add them frozen).
Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan. Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of chia seeds of chia seeds on top of the banana bread.
Bake for for 60-70 mins, until toothpick comes out clean. If you notice the top of the banana bread is getting too brown, top the banana bread with aluminum foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

Notes

Instead of olive oil, you can use avocado oil.

Instead of greek yogurt, you can use sour cream

Instead of blueberries, you can use any other type of berry.

You can omit the chia seeds.
