Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or use a Pampered Chef stone loaf pan for even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as it can make the bread dense.
Gently fold in the mixed fresh berries with a spatula to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the 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.
Serve the Berry Banana Bread on its own or with a pat of butter or cream cheese if desired. Enjoy!
