- Set your oven to 350°F and grease your baking pan.
- Cream your butter and sugars with a hand mixer.
- Beat your eggs into the mixture.

- Pour your banana mixture into the bowl with the dry flour and combine.
- Carefully fold your blueberries into the mix.
- Spread the batter in the loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes.
Overripe bananas make the best banana bread. The peels should be turning black, and the fruit should be browning in several places. To quickly ripen a banana, pierce the peel with a fork, wrap it in a paper towel, and microwave on low power in 30-second increments for up to 2 minutes.
You can use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries. You can add frozen blueberries to the batter straight from the freezer.
It is best to use mini chocolate chip morsels when preparing this recipe. These mini morsels provide just the right amount of chocolate to the bread to complement the other ingredients, including the bananas and blueberries.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Make sure you are not overmixing the batter after adding your blueberries to it. If you mix too much, the color from the blueberries will bleed out into the bread.
- Let your bread cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing into it and serving it.
- Spread your batter into the loaf pan evenly. If it is not even, the bread could come out lopsided.

- Beat in the eggs and sliced bananas. Set aside.2 large eggs, 3 ripe bananas

- In another separate bowl, stir together the blueberries and the remaining ½ cup of flour to coat the blueberries lightly.2 cups blueberries
- Pour the banana batter into the dry flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Make sure to scrape the sides and bowl of the bowl to incorporate all the ingredients well.
- Very gently fold the blueberries into the batter. Do not overmix or the blueberries will bleed their color into the mixture.
- Scrape the batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly. (For a nicer finish, add just a few chocolate chips and blueberries to the top of the uncooked loaf and press them in gently)
- Bake for 50 minutes. Insert a cake tester, toothpick, or thin-bladed knife. If the batter is not set (the cake tester comes out wet), continue baking for another 5-10 minutes. If the loaf begins to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
- Place the pan on a cooling rack and let sit for 10 minutes. Turn the loaf pan over and slide the banana bread out of the pan. Allow it to cool on the cooling rack.
