Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix to keep the texture tender.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan (or divide evenly among the muffin cups if making muffins).

Step 10

Bake for 50-60 minutes for bread or 18-22 minutes for muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Slice and serve the blueberry banana bread or enjoy the muffins as a grab-and-go treat!
