This Blueberry Banana Bread is totally scrumptious and oh-so moist!
One of my favorite go-to recipes is Banana Bread. It’s perfect for using up ripe bananas, freezes well, and my family loves it! The other day I had some blueberries in the fridge that needed to be used up as well as several ripe bananas. I thought, why not throw those blueberries in and see how it goes. Well, my friends, this will become a staple in our household! The Banana Blueberry Bread was so moist, so flavorful, so delicious! I’d love for you to give this recipe a try!
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe bananas ~ 1 1/2c mashed
- 1 c fresh blueberries
- 1 1/4 c flour (I use 1/2 c wheat, 3/4 c AP)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 Tbls butter, softened
- 3/4 c light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325. Peel and mash the bananas.
Stir in the butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
Combine the dry ingredients. Pour half of the flour and baking soda mixture into the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
Add the blueberries to the remaining dry ingredients and coat the blueberries with the flour mixture.
Stir in the blueberries and remaining dry ingredients just until combined.
Grease and flour a bread pan and the pour the mixture in.
Let the bread bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
Slice, serve, and enjoy! I love seeing the bright blueberries and banana chunks in each slice of bread – YUM!

Trish, A keeper. I made muffins and substitute the butter for coconut oil, and worked perfectly, super moist.

Excellent! Great substitutions too 🙂

Awww! That’s so awesome Kathie! Thank you!
Mallory says
Love the recipe, I’ve made it once before but I can’t find my bread pan! Could I bake it like muffins? Or use a different size pan?
kathie Krzykwa says
I used a Bundt pan. Came out perfect and looked pretty.

Just found this site can’t wait to try this reciepe. one question, what is AP you said you use 1/2 wheat an 3/4 AP I don’t know what that is. Can I use non wheat flour?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
AP = all-purpose flour Sandy. Does that help? So gad you found me too! 🙂
Kelli says
Could you substitute butter with cocoanut oil?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m pretty sure you can Kelli! It will change the flavor slightly but it should be amazing!

Hello, I live in Venezuela and we do not get fresh blueberries here. However, I have some dried blueberries that aren’t actually that dry so I am not concerned about the texture. They do have sugar added though. Do you think I can use those and cut down the sugar in the recipe a bit?
Thanks!
Ira
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s a great idea Ira! The blueberries do add a bit to the moisture level so you might want to consider adding an extra tablespoon or two of banana to the mix. Have a wonderful weekend!
Lilriki says
I like to wait to comment until I try a recipe. It’s obvious it looks good if I’m checking the comments 😉 Having said that, I REALLY liked this one! I also used the partial wheat as stated and added flax seed. Yum. I’ll continue to make this one!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Love the addition of flax seed! Thanks so much for stopping back by – have a wonderful weekend!
Robin says

Thanks Robin! Have a great week!
Kara says
So I see a salt container in your picture of ingredients but I did not see it in your list… Is this recipe supposed to have any salt?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
You are so right Kara! 1/4 tsp of salt. Just added it to the list! Thank you 🙂
Kara says
Unfortunately I didn’t notice until the bread was in the oven 🙁
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
It should be fine Kara!
