Today, I’m thrilled to share a delightful recipe that has become a favorite in my kitchen – Blueberry Banana Bread. This moist, flavorful bread is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even a sweet treat to share with loved ones.
Why You’ll Love This Blueberry Sweet Bread
This recipe combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the burst of juicy blueberries, creating a deliciously moist bread that’s hard to resist. Whether you’re an experienced baker or just starting, this recipe is straightforward and yields consistently delicious results.
Key Ingredients:
- Ripe Bananas: The riper, the better! Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture.
- Fresh Blueberries: Whole, fresh blueberries bring a tart contrast to the sweetness of the bananas, balancing the flavors beautifully.
- Coconut Milk: This adds a subtle richness and keeps the bread incredibly moist.
Tips for Perfect Sweet Blueberry Bread
- Use overripe bananas: The more spotty and brown the bananas, the better the flavor and texture of your bread.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add extra blueberries on top: For a visually appealing loaf, sprinkle a few extra blueberries on top of the batter before baking.
Storing and Freezing
To store, wrap the cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It will stay fresh at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If you’d like to freeze it, wrap the loaf (or individual slices) in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
Final Thoughts
This Blueberry Banana Bread is a delightful twist on the classic banana bread recipe, offering bursts of juicy blueberries in every bite. It’s perfect for sharing with friends, enjoying as a snack, or savoring as a morning treat with your coffee.

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla
- 2 whole ripe bananas, mashed

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy your delicious blueberry banana bread!
