Blueberry Banana Bread

  • Author: Lusine Svetlana

Description

Blueberry Banana Bread is a delightful twist on the classic banana bread, adding juicy blueberries for a burst of flavor in every bite. This moist and tender bread is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. The combination of ripe bananas and fresh blueberries creates a sweet and tangy treat that everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 ¼ cup blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×5-inch bread pan with cooking spray.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Beat Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

4. Add Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until well combined. Beat in the mashed bananas.

5. Combine with Flour Mixture
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until just combined.

6. Fold in Blueberries
Using a spatula, gently fold in the blueberries.

7. Bake the Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a tester comes out clean. If the top is getting too brown and the bread is not fully cooked, cover with foil and continue baking.

8. Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.
