Bake this easy, moist blueberry banana bread using overripe bananas for a delicious, comforting quick bread perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: 1/4 cup brown sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Stir in the mashed bananas until incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If using, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and moisture.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them; toss them lightly in one tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
  • For a bakery-style top, you can slice a banana lengthwise and place the halves on top before baking.
