instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
  - - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  - - Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
  - - In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
  - - In another medium-sized bowl, mash the bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  - - Add the lightly beaten eggs, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and melted coconut oil. Stir until well combined.

1. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
  - - Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  - - Carefully fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid over-mixing as this can make the bread tough.

1. Add Blueberries and Optional Ingredients:
  - - Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  - - If using, add the chopped nuts and chia seeds or flaxseeds, folding them in evenly throughout the batter.

1. Transfer to Loaf Pan:
  - - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

1. Bake:
  - - Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven.
  - - Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  - - If the top of the bread is browning too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

1. Cool:
  - - Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  - - Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

1. Serve:
