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, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Optionally, sprinkle a small handful of oats on top for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 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.
Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
