Ingredients

Scale

3 ripe bananas, mashed

100g unsalted butter, softened (about 7/8 stick)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus 1 tbsp extra for coating berries)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)

2 tablespoons milk (optional, only if batter seems very thick)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter.

Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

Mix in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk flour (reserving 1 tbsp), baking soda, and salt.

Toss blueberries with reserved flour to prevent sinking.

Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently, just until combined.

Gently fold in blueberries without overmixing.

If batter is thick, add 1-2 tbsp milk (optional).

Pour batter into pan and smooth the top.

Bake 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
