For the Batter

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Toss 1 cup of fresh blueberries in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to prevent sinking.
  3. Peel and mash 3-4 super ripe bananas using a fork until a mix of smooth and chunky textures is achieved.
  4. Add 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 beaten egg to the bananas; stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Fold the dry mixture into the wet banana mixture until just combined; lumps are fine.
  7. Gently fold in the floured blueberries until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top; bake for about 50-55 minutes.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
