Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour gluten-free, if necessary
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups bananas mashed
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk any works- I used oat milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup blueberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda and mix well. Add the bananas, butter, vanilla extract, milk, and apple cider vinegar and mix until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold through your blueberries.
Transfer your batter to the loaf pan and top with extra blueberries, if desired. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out just clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan completely, before removing and slicing.

Notes

Make blueberry banana muffins by distributing the batter amongst a 12-count muffin tin. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

TO STORE: You can keep it stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Either way, be sure to keep it covered in a sealed container.

TO FREEZE: Place individual slices of the bread in parchment paper, and keep it in a ziplock bag. It will freeze well for up to 6 months.

TO THAW: transfer from the freezer to the fridge and let it thaw overnight.

Recipe variations

Gluten-free. Use gluten-free flour with xanthan gum added.
Vegan. Use plant-based butter and dairy-free milk.
Add lemon zest. If you love the lemon blueberry duo as much as I do, add the zest of one lemon for a flavor boost.
Add mix-ins. In addition to blueberries, I find white chocolate chips, pecans, or coconut flakes all make wonderful mix-ins.
