Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, milk, and olive oil. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and mashed bananas to the wet mixture and stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- If you're using blueberries, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed. Be careful not to crush the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cooled, slice the blueberry and banana bread and serve. Enjoy it on its own or with a spread of butter or your favorite topping.
Tips:
- Ensure that the bananas are ripe as they provide natural sweetness and better flavor.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid them from bursting and creating a soggy bread.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure it holds together well.
- If you prefer a less sweet bread, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly.
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and even baking.
Once you’ve baked this blueberry and banana bread, the delicious aroma will fill your kitchen, enticing everyone. Serve it warm with a spread of butter or cream cheese, or enjoy it as-is. This recipe is perfect for using up overripe bananas and makes a wonderful homemade gift for friends and family. Happy baking!
