This Incredible Blueberry Banana Bread is moist, delicious, simple to make, and has just the right amount of blueberries/banana throughout!
If you were to go through my freezer, chances are, you would find several frozen bananas. My family always laughs when they rummage through because I tend to stock up. Never know when you’ll need to use bananas for smoothies, breads, muffins, etc., so I keep them on hand!
Last week, I was cleaning out my freezer (finally) and noticed a bag of frozen blueberries. I decided to use it up since not much was left in it! I put the bag aside on my counter, continued cleaning out the freezer, and quickly realized I had way too many bananas to use up as well!
Deciding to combine both my favorite breads into one, I knew it would be a hit. I took my go to recipes, basically combined them into one, and got this bread!
The flavor was on point! Perfectly moist, just the right hint of banana throughout, juicy blueberries in every bite, and best of all….I was able to make 4 mini loaves from one batch!
This Incredible Blueberry Banana Bread is also great to make as muffins or into one large loaf! Eat some now, freeze some for later…the choice is yours! You could even give this away to your friends, neighbors, and teachers as a goodie to enjoy!
If you enjoy banana bread and want to try a fun twist, look no further!

Is 1 tbsp of vanilla correct or should it be 1 tsp? I’ve never seen a recipe with more than 1 tspl
Kristin
Hi! 1 tbsp. is correct, it really enhances the flavor! You can cut down to 1/2 tbsp. if desired! Enjoy!
Cathy
Does the banana have to be brown ?
Jill
All purpose flour?
Kristin
Nope, just mashed! Brown tend to mash easier, but you can always put them through a food processor or use a fork!
Kristin
Yep, all purpose! Enjoy!
Margaret
Can you use frozen blueberries.
Kristin
Absolutely! Cover in about 1 tbsp. of flour prior to adding so that they don’t sink to the bottom of the batter though!
Lee
Could I use an oil to substitute the butter??
Kristin
You can substitute vegetable oil, the ratio is 3/4 cup oil for every 1 cup of butter needed.
