Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to avoid breaking them.
  2. Bake the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  3. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps the bread to set and prevents it from crumbling.

Notes

  • For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding to the batter to prevent color bleeding.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate up to a week.
  • This banana bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
