Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • 4x8 loaf pan
  • Rubber scraper
  • Measuring Cups
  • Conventional oven

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh-washed blueberries
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cane sugar
  • 1 stick butter softened
  • ¼ tsp almond extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup blueberries for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 4×8 loaf pan.
  • Combine mashed bananas, eggs, almond extract, sugar and butter in a mixing bowl.
  • Fold in all remaining ingredients except the blueberries. Mix until no clumps remain.
  • Carefully fold in blueberries. Be sure to save a few for the top.
  • Pour batter into loaf pan. Top with additional blueberries and sprinkled cane sugar if desired for even more sweetness.
  • Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
You can use frozen but let them thaw (or heat for 20-30 seconds in the microwave) and drain the juice before folding into the bread batter. Failing to drain the extra juice will result in a soggy loaf.
