Equipment

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 & ¾ cups / 220 g All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp / 4 g Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp / 1 g Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp / 1.5 g Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 medium-size Ripe Bananas
  • 2 large Eggs
  • ½ cup / 110 g Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup / 115 g Melted Butter
  • ⅓ cup / 82 g Yogurt
  • 1 tsp / 5 ml Vanilla Essence
  • 1 cup / 150 g Blueberries plus more for the top of the bread

Instructions

Preheat The Oven and Prepare The Pan

  • Preheat the oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit or 160 degrees Celsius.
  • Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper for easy lift-out.

Prepare Dry Ingredients

  • Grab another large bowl and combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Stir the dry mixture well until no clumps remain and set aside.

Mash Bananas and Mix Wet Ingredients

  • Grab a large mixing bowl and add the bananas. Mash the bananas with a fork until they are mostly smooth.
  • Add brown sugar, crack the eggs, melted butter, yogurt, and vanilla essence to the mix.
  • Now, whisk until everything is well combined.
  • Set the bowl aside for later use.

Combine The Dry And Wet

  • Now, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking just until everything comes together.
  • Be careful not to overmix—just blend until combined.

Add Blueberries and Bake

  • Toss the fresh blueberries with a little flour, and using a spatula, gently fold them into the batter.
  • Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake the blueberry banana bread in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool, Serve and Enjoy!

  • Once baked, cool the bread for 10 minutes in the pan.
  • Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
  • Slice into the warm, delicious blueberry banana bread and enjoy it as it is or with a cup of your favorite drink!

Notes

  1. You can use frozen blueberries or fresh blueberries, whichever is available to you.
  2. Place the blueberries in a bowl with 1-2 tablespoons of flour and toss to coat. This will help the blueberries not sink to the bottom of the bread.
