🛒 Ingredients
For one loaf (8–10 slices):
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup (75 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon flour (for coating blueberries)
- Softened butter, for serving
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mash the Bananas 🍌
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, mash two ripe bananas using a fork until mostly smooth. A few small chunks are perfectly fine!
Add the eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is well combined.
Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients 🥣
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture.
Using a spatula, gently fold everything together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your banana bread soft and fluffy.
Step 3: Fold in Fresh Blueberries 🫐
Toss the fresh blueberries with one tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, keeping them whole.
Step 4: Pour and Bake 🔥
Line a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Pour the banana-blueberry batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
Step 5: Slice and Enjoy! 🍞
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
Once it has cooled enough to slice neatly, cut into thick slices.
For an extra-delicious breakfast, gently warm a slice and spread a little softened butter on top.
Enjoy every bite!
💡 Tips for Perfect Blueberry Banana Bread
Use very ripe bananas: Bananas with brown spots provide extra sweetness and moisture.
Don’t overmix: Stir only until the flour disappears. Overmixing can make the bread dense.
Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Both work beautifully. If using frozen blueberries, add them directly without thawing.
Check before removing from the oven: Baking times vary depending on your oven and loaf pan.
Let it cool before slicing: This helps the bread hold its shape and prevents crumbling.
❄️ How to Store
- Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerator: Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Wrap individual slices and freeze for up to 3 months.
Warm a slice before serving for that freshly baked taste!
