Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Mashed ripe bananas
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.

Step 6

Fold the floured blueberries gently into the batter, being careful not to crush them.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 60–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Blueberry Banana Loaf as a delicious breakfast treat or snack!
