Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the banana blueberry 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.

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or enjoy with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
