Blueberry Banana Bread

The Ultimate Blueberry Banana Bread is loaded with fresh blueberries, and fresh bananas and bursts with so much flavor, making this the ultimate blueberry banana bread to serve!

The Ultimate Blueberry Banana Bread

Our Blueberry Banana Bread is moist and loaded with delicious blueberry flavor. The flavor of bananas is subtle but gives the bread its fluffy and moist texture. 

We love banana bread, and this one is adapted from our Ultimate Banana Bread Super Moist.  And it turned out AMAZING! If you love banana treats, try our Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, and don’t miss our Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.

This classic breakfast bread only needs one bowl, good-quality ingredients, and bake! Plus, it freezes beautifully too!

*This recipe will yield 2 or even 3 loaves, depending on the size of your bread pans. It gives you plenty to feed a crowd and freeze a bread or two.   

Besides, our blueberry banana bread will complement any breakfast buffet table. It’s so good, that everyone might pass on the eggs with toast, and rather go for the second serving.

  

Ingredients Overview:

We used our favorite two 9 x 5 bread pans, for this recipe so you can serve, and one to freeze. You can also make it with one large 13 x 9 Cuisinart sheet pan, and make it a sheet cake.

• olive oil
• sugar
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• sour cream
• salt
• flour
• baking soda
• plus, 3 large bananas
• and fresh blueberries

Adding Blueberries:

• Fresh bananas are what make this bread super moist.
• Adding some fresh blueberries inside and on top adds an extra decadent flavor that melts in your mouth.
• The blueberry flavor makes this bread irresistible.

How to Make The Ultimate Blueberry Banana Bread

Ok, let’s talk about how to make this delicious blueberry banana quick bread. For this recipe, you will only need one large mixing bowl, and a hand-held mixer. But if you prefer, you can use a whisk too. So, let’s go over our easy-to-follow steps, so you can understand what’s involved before you start:

1. Blend the First Half of the Ingredients: In one large mixing bowl, add the eggs, olive oil, sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Blend with a hand-held electric mixer until smooth.

2. Mash the Bananas: Use a fork to mash the bananas, one at a time. Then add them to the mixture, and blend until the batter is smooth.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Measure the rest of the ingredients and blend them into a smooth creamy mixture. The batter will be thick.

4. Next Prepare the Blueberries: Place the blueberries in a small bowl, remember to reserve some to place on top of the bread. Toss in 1/2 tablespoon of flour and stir until the blueberries are coated evenly. Then gently fold them into the batter.

5. Pour into Bread Pans: Divide the batter into 2 baking pans. Top with some blueberries. Place them onto the middle rack in the oven and bake (see my notes below in the recipe card).

Options to garnish on top…

These blueberry banana breads are so good, they don’t need any embellishments. You can easily serve them warm or chilled. But, if you prefer to jazz them up, here are a few options:

• scatter powdered sugar over them.
• or a drizzle with a simple glaze on top.

Storing and Freezing:

• Best to wrap each bread with clear wrap, and tightly. Then store the loaves of bread in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer, about 2 weeks.
• You can freeze banana bread too, and for up to 2 months.
