This Blueberry Banana Bread is a delightful twist on traditional banana bread. The moist, tender crumb is enhanced by bursts of fresh blueberries, making it a perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. Its balanced flavor combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the tart freshness of blueberries. Enjoy it plain, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil for a lighter taste)
  • 3 overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the melted butter, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

 

  • Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For added texture and flavor, consider stirring in ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • A sprinkle of lemon zest can brighten the flavors and complement the blueberries.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bread, increase the granulated sugar by 1–2 tablespoons.
