  • Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the banana blueberry bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, slice the bread into thick slices and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet bananas and juicy blueberries!

  • If using frozen blueberries, do not defrost them before adding them to the batter.
  • For a nuttier flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • For a sweeter bread, you can add 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
  • You can also add 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger or allspice for a different flavor.
  • For a vegan version, you can use flax eggs instead of regular eggs.
