Blueberry Banana Bread is one of the best recipes to make with very ripe bananas. The bread is sweet, fluffy, tender, bursting with juicy blueberries and lemon flavor. Blueberry Banana Bread is one of the most delicious sweet bread you will ever try. This moist and delicious dessert has the perfect combination of bananas and fresh blueberries that is super simple to make. If you have some very ripe bananas on hand that is just begging to be baked into something flavorful and good, this recipe should be on top of your list.

Ingredients

Glaze

1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbsp. milk
1 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups all purpose flour
1 lemon (juice and zest)
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas about 3 medium bananas
2 large eggs
1 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
02

In the bowl of an electric mixer or using a hand mixer, cream butter, and sugar together until light and fluffy.
03

Beat eggs in a small bowl and add them to the butter mixture, beat until combined. Add mashed bananas, lemon zest and lemon juice, whisk until fully combined. If needed, use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
04

Sift all dry ingredients into a medium bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt.
05

Slowly add sifted dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix just until combined, careful not to over-mix, this is very important.
06

Using a spatula, fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean, with no raw batter onto it. Start checking on the bread at the 50-minute mark, and if you still need to bake more, check on it every 5 minutes.
07

Let cool completely before in the loaf pan, run a knife over the edges and gently remove the bread from the pan.
08

Glaze: Add the powdered sugar to a medium bowl, add two tablespoons of milk and the vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined with no lumps. If the mixture is too thick add one more tablespoon of milk. I like the glaze on the thicker side, yet pourable, so it will look white and shiny, not transparent. After the bread has cooled, use a fork or spoon to drizzle the icing over it. Slice and serve!
