Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, use a mixer or whisk to cream the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, providing a smooth base for the batter.
- Add Eggs and Bananas: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the mashed ripe bananas and vanilla extract to combine all wet ingredients fully.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing that can toughen the bread.
- Fold in Blueberries: Toss blueberries in a small amount of flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter for even distribution.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas as they provide natural sweetness and moisture.
- Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
- Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
