Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is perfect for baking banana bread, ensuring it cooks evenly.  Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it with cooking spray or butter. This step prevents the bread from sticking.

Next, peel your ripe bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this task. Aim for a texture with a few small lumps – this adds to the bread's character. Make sure you have about one cup of mashed bananas.

In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. This process incorporates air, leading to a softer texture in your bread. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.

Stir in the Greek yogurt, mashed bananas, pure vanilla extract, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until everything is well combined. The Greek yogurt adds moisture and gives your bread a protein boost.

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, fine sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk everything together to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a denser bread, so stop as soon as you see the flour disappear.

Now, it’s time to fold in the fresh blueberries. Remember to toss them in the tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter. This prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter to preserve their shape.

Transfer your batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Top it with a few additional blueberries for a decorative touch.

Place your loaf pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes – every oven varies slightly in temperature.

Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slicing into warm blueberry banana bread is a moment worth savoring.
