Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk

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, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Optionally, sprinkle a small handful of oats on top for decoration.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the 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 11

Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
