The Ultimate Blueberry Banana Bread
The Ultimate Blueberry Banana Bread is loaded with fresh blueberries, fresh bananas and bursts with so much flavor, makes this the ultimate blueberry banana bread to serve! This classic breakfast bread only needs one bowl, a good whisk and then bake! And it freezes beautifully too!
Blueberry banana bread is moist and loaded with delicious blueberry flavor. The flavor of banana in this bread is subtle, but gives the bread its fluffy and moist texture.
A tried and true recipe, this bread recipe is adapted from our ultimate banana bread super moist. Since I had a few containers of blueberries in my fridge, I figured why not add them to the recipe!
Blueberries are folded in the batter and on top, giving it a superior flavor and texture. Plus, there’s no need to add any icing or frosting on top.
For this recipe, you will yield 2 or even 3 loaves, giving you plenty to feed a crowd and even extra breads to freeze.
This blueberry banana bread will compliment any breakfast buffet table. It’s so good, everyone might pass or even skip the eggs with toast, and rather go for the another piece.
This Blueberry Banana Bread happens to be my daughters absolute favorite in the morning, and her favorite as a late night snack!
Fresh bananas is what makes this bread super moist, but when you add in some fresh blueberries inside and on top, it adds an extra decadent flavor that melts in your mouth, making this bread even addicting. What’s not to love!
And if my other daughter, who hates bananas, actually loves this the flavors in this one! Well that says it all! … but don’t take our word for it, you’ll have to give it a try!
ENJOY!!
…Thanks for Pinning!

I recently made banana bread, but with all the fresh blueberries around I should have made blueberry! This looks fantastic. I know what I'll be making next…..
Thank you Dawn and welcome to our blog!
It's nice to meet you! And we look forward to hearing from you again!
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
I've never had the two together and I'm wondering why! The sour cream must make it so moist!
Yes so true! The sour cream also makes it very moist but I feel it's the amount of the bananas mashed that helps make this bread so moist. I have made it with less bananas and the texture was different- not as moist.
I have never tried Blueberry Banana Bread. This looks lovely! And if it has been endorsed by your daughter – who likely has had more than her good share of excellent food – it must be over the top!
