Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your Blueberry Banana Bread!
