This delightful blueberry banana bread combines the sweetness of ripe bananas with juicy blueberries, creating a moist treat that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. This is the perfect temperature for baking to ensure a nice rise and golden crust!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Don’t rush this step; it makes a big difference in texture!
Mix in the mashed bananas, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the banana mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries to keep them intact. This adds bursts of flavor throughout your bread!
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help maintain its moist texture.
Notes
This banana bread is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet afternoon treat!
