Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Stir in the milk to loosen the batter slightly.

Step 8

Toss the fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom, then gently fold them into the batter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil around the 40-minute mark.

Step 11

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