Yogurt Blackberry Bread Loaf

Since we have tons of blackberries (an amazing problem) I was trying to come up with things to do with them this weekend. I wanted to bake some things that I could freeze and bring over to dinners with people in the next few weeks or unthaw and have for breakfast.

This blackberry bread fit the bill perfectly. Plus it looks so cute all swirled and berry stained.
