Blackberry Banana Bread

Blackberry Banana Bread – the perfect way to use up those blackberries and older bananas, or even to buy just for this recipe!

Remember my banana bread recipe that went viral on Pinterest? On average, we probably make this about once a month in our home. My kiddos eat about a banana-a-day, but somehow we always end up with bananas that are a little too brown to eat by themselves. (It may have something to do with buying too many, so I then have an excuse to make this banana bread.)

If you have green bananas, here’s how to ripen bananas for recipes like this one!

Why You’ll Love This Blackberry Banana Bread

There’s a secret ingredient (buttermilk) that makes this banana blackberry bread so moist and so different than other recipes out there.

TIP: I did choose to put flax seed in this recipe but you don’t have to! It’s just an added ingredient that I like to sneak in for the kids.

I so hope you love this recipe. I kid you not, when I tell you that it never lasts a day in our house So that whole thing I said about how it’s good for breakfast? Yeah, that’s a theory. We’ve never even made it to breakfast with this banana bread in the house.

Calories 334 kcal

Ingredients

• ▢ ½ cup buttermilk or you can combine ½ c. milk with 2 tsp. lemon juice & set aside to curdle
• ▢ ¾ cup butter softened (1 ½ sticks)
• ▢ 1½ cup granulated sugar
• ▢ 1½ cup very ripe bananas mashed, which is about 3 large bananas (Here's how to ripen bananas.)
• ▢ ½ cup mashed blackberries
• ▢ 2 eggs
• ▢ 2 cup all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ ¼ cup flaxseed Optional but not required.

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
• Cream the butter and the sugar.
• Add in the mashed bananas & blackberries (I combine the two in a Ziploc bag and squeeze until mixed.)
• Add in the eggs.
• Mix all together until combined.
• In a separate bowl. mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and flaxseed if using.
• Add the flour mixture and the buttermilk alternately to the creamed mixture, and mix on low or by hand until combined.
• If you’re adding chocolate chips/pecans, add to mixture and hand stir to combine
• Pour into two greased pans, or mini loaf pans.
• If baking in two regular loaf pans, bake at 325 for 40-45 minutes. If baking in mini loaf pans, bake at 325, and begin checking after 20 minutes with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. (Because each mini loaf size is different, like mentioned above.)
