Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.75 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Cream together 0.5 cup of softened butter and 0.75 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, then mix in 2 mashed ripe bananas and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in 1 cup of blueberries ensuring even distribution.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for approximately 60 minutes, rotating halfway through until golden brown.
  9. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
