This recipe yields a moist and easy loaf combining ripe bananas and fresh blueberries. It is a simple quick bread perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas and yogurt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. A few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, substitute sour cream for plain yogurt.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them; toss them lightly in one tablespoon of the measured flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
  • This bread freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
