🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

3. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.

7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Remove the banana blueberry bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

10. Slice and serve as is, or enjoy with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
