Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

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, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until smooth.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.

Step 7

Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve. Enjoy your Blueberry Banana Bread!
