Make this moist blueberry banana bread using ripe bananas. This easy recipe creates a tender, flavorful loaf perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Stir in the melted butter and granulated sugar.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra moist loaf, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with 1/4 cup of plain yogurt.
  • If you want a crumb topping, mix 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons cold butter until crumbly, then sprinkle over the batter before baking.
  • This banana bread freezes well. Wrap the cooled loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
