Ingredients

½ cup butter, softened 1 stick
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs beaten
3 ripe bananas mashed
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups fresh blueberries tossed in 1 Tablespoon of flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F and spray two 9×5 loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat the eggs with a fork in another small bowl. Add the eggs to the sugar mixture and beat until well combined. Add the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until flour is just combined. You DO NOT want to overmix it – mix until you see a bit of flour left in the bottom of your bowl.
Carefully fold in the blueberries coated in flour. Be very gentle as the blueberries can break easily during the process.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and bake for 15 minutes.
REDUCE THE HEAT to 350F and bake for an additional 30 minutes until edges are slightly brown or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely before removing from the loaf pans.

Notes

Tossing the blueberries in a touch of flour before stirring them in keeps them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
