Description
Make the best moist Banana Blueberry Bread with this easy recipe. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack with ripe bananas and fresh blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon all purpose flour (for tossing blueberries)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a potato masher until mostly smooth. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Use a wire whisk to combine these wet ingredients thoroughly.
- 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a silicone spatula to fold until just combined; do not overmix.
- 4. In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with the 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking. Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter with the silicone spatula.
- 5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Use oven mitts to carefully remove the pan from the oven.
- 6. Place the loaf pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bread out of the pan and place it directly on the cooling rack to cool completely. For clean slices, use a bread knife to cut.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
Serve your banana bread blueberry warm for the best flavor and experience.
