Bake this easy, moist loaf combining ripe bananas and fresh blueberries for a perfect breakfast or snack bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 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°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 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 the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas and yogurt until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  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 wooden skewer 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 with one tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
  • This bread freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
