Blueberry Banana Bread

This Blueberry Banana Bread is a delightful twist on the classic banana bread. It’s packed with fresh blueberries and ripe bananas, creating a moist, flavorful treat that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a light dessert.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  
  

• 1 cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs
  
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
  
  

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1 tsp baking soda
  
  

• ½ tsp salt
  
  

• 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries, tossed in 1 tbsp flour
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
   
   

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
   
   

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing until just combined.
   
   

4. Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries.
   
   

5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and press a few extra blueberries into the top for decoration.
   
   

6. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil.
   
   

7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
