Instructions How to Make Blueberry Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with baking spray or line with parchment and spray with non-stick baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla together and whisk together well, followed by the mashed banana, mixing well.
- Add the dry ingredients of your flour mixture in with the wet ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined without over-mixing the banana mixture.

- Let the pan cool at least 20 minutes, bread should be room temperature before slicing.
Storing Blueberry Banana Bread
Banana bread can last up to five days at room temperature if it’s wrapped in plastic wrap or a ziplock bag and stored well. If you keep it in the fridge, it can last a whole week.
Freezing Blueberry Banana Bread
If you freeze banana bread and wrap it well with storage wrap and aluminum foil, it can last for a year. But for the best taste, you should defrost and eat it within three months.
