BLUEBERRY BANANA BREAD

This blueberry banana bread turns out tender and flavorful every time. The blueberries are the perfect addition. We like this served in thick slices with a big smear of salted butter. This recipe makes one loaf.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 medium ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup blueberries tossed in flour

INSTRUCTIONS

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray.
    • Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
    • Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
  • Add the mashed bananas to the mixture and mix by hand until combined, scraping down the bowl as you stir.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients by hand, being sure not to overmix the batter.
  • Fold in the blueberries.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and bake for 1 hour or until a tester comes out clean. Tent the pan with aluminum foil if the bread is starting to get too brown towards the end of baking.
  • Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.

TIPS & NOTES:

I’ve only tested this recipe with fresh blueberries, but frozen would likely work.

To toss the berries in flour, just rinse the berries and pat dry. Sprinkle on a tablespoon or two of flour and gently stir to coat the berries in the flour.

Sprinkle extra berries on top of the batter before baking, if desired.
