I had two really ripe bananas and a bunch of blueberries to get rid of and I thought why not make some bread! I found a few recipes, added some things and subtracted some ingredients and came up with what I think is a really nice solid recipe.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup fresh blueberries (I doubled the blueberries)
zest of 1 lemon
sugar in the raw (for sprinkling on top before baking)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until well combined.
Add 1 egg and allow to blend into the butter mixture before adding the second egg along with vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Beat mashed bananas thoroughly into the mixture.
Add flour mixture in small increments while beating until just combined into a thick batter.
Fold blueberries into the batter; pour into prepared loaf pan.
Sprinkle with Sugar In The Raw
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 65 minutes. It took mine a full hour to cook.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire
rack.
*this was enough batter for 1 regular loaf pan*
**next time I will add toasted pecans**
