Make this moist blueberry banana bread using ripe bananas for a tender crumb and juicy berries. This easy recipe is perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: 1/2 cup streusel topping ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas and melted butter until combined.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If using a crumb topping, sprinkle it evenly over the batter now.
  8. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with plain yogurt.
  • To prevent blueberries from sinking, lightly toss them with 1 teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
  • This bread freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
