Banana Blueberry Bread is incredibly moist, soft, and packed with sweet ripe bananas and juicy bursts of blueberries in every bite. The natural sweetness from the bananas pairs perfectly with the fresh berries, creating a comforting, bakery-style loaf that’s perfect for breakfast, snacking, or even dessert. If you love fruity baked treats, be sure to try these Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls for a bright, citrusy twist that’s just as irresistible.
Blueberries add such an amazing pop of flavor and they are currently coming into season. So why not toss them into some banana bread to give it that extra pop. If you just it without the blueberries, try my Cream Cheese Banana Bread!
Even as we speak I have bananas that my hubby didn't get to in time. Now they are past the point of edible in his opinion. So that means they're now all mine for some yummy banana blueberry bread.
Have one loaf now and throw the second one in the freezer. Whether you enjoy this as a snack or for breakfast, this bread is so moist and flavorful. Top it off with a pat of butter. Yummy!!
Some items I used to make this banana blueberry bread recipe
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and spray two 8x4 loaf pans with non stick cooking spray.
Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Add in bananas, and vanilla, and mix just until mixed.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour until coated. Then gently fold into the batter. Spread batter into prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 1 hour or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean . Cool bread in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes.

Notes
You can use frozen blueberries, no need to thaw them first. And toss them with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour before adding them to the batter.To Freeze-Cool the loaf completely and wrap it in plastic wrap then a sheet of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Yes you can. I recommend soaking them first though.
Thank you for the recipe. Can we use dried blue berries?
Made this many times! Everyone loves it! Sometimes I add an extra banana ! I use frozen blueberries and it turns out great! Thanks!
Hmmm, not really sure Deborah. Did you follow the recipe exactly? Did you use frozen blueberries? I've never had that problem. The batter is pretty thick, which should hold the blueberries in place. Next time you could dust the fresh blueberries with a bit of flour to keep them in place.
My Blueberries sank to the bottom of the bread. What did I do wrong?
I made this recipe and found the batter way too thick! I recommend using 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups flour if you're like me and prefer a muffin consistency. Thank you for the recipe!
I usually use fresh, but you can use frozen just don't defrost them first. Hope this helps Stacy 🙂
I was wondering if you can use frozen blueberries? I just bought a ton on sale and I make this bread about once a week. My kids love this bread for breakfast and to take for snack at school.
!-8 ounce pkg of cream cheese. Hope this helps Abrar 🙂
