Using really ripe bananas adds sweetness to this delicious tea time treat, and adding a little agave syrup instead of conventional sugar, means this Banana bread is lower in refined sugar (and has a lower glycaemic index) than most baked goods.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Grease and line a 900g (2lb) loaf tin.
Step 2
Mash the bananas and stir in the agave syrup, flours, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda.
Step 3
In a separate bowl or jug, stir together the eggs, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix through most of the blueberries.
Step 4
Pour the batter in to the tin and sprinkle over remaining blueberries. Bake for 1hr-1hr15min or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
