For a fresh fruity twist on banana bread, try this version loaded with blueberries, and I added avocados for healthy fats instead of using butter. Moist and flavorful, it's a must-bake recipe!
Recipe type: Dessert, Snack, Kid-friendly
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 avocado - flesh scooped out
2 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1¼ cups)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp grated nutmeg
1⅓ cups blueberries
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
In another large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, egg, avocado, vanilla and mashed bananas until smooth.
Add in flour mixture and stir until just combined, do not beat or over-mix, otherwise your batter will become runny and thin, and the bread will turn out gooey.
Fold in blueberries with a spoon or spatula, then pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached. Be extra careful and test in a few places, to make sure the bread is not gooey or uncooked from the middle.
Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
