Banana bread holds a special place in our home—it’s a timeless delight that never fails to satisfy. Whether it’s for morning tea, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a sneaky after-dinner treat, its versatility is unmatched. Plus, it's a hit in school lunchboxes or simply toasted with a slather of butter at breakfast. For our latest batch, we couldn’t resist adding a twist with our homemade Blueberry & Vanilla Bean Jam on top. The result? A true winner! The burst of vanilla-infused blueberries nestled within the banana bread is a delightful surprise that we urge you to experience yourself. That's why we're sharing our beloved recipe with you: Blueberry Banana Bread Recipe Ingredients: 350g over-ripened mashed bananas 130g softened diced butter 150g caster sugar 2 eggs 220g Plain Flour 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp chia seeds 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon Pinch of salt 1 tsp bicarb soda 100g Buttermilk 2 tsp Vanilla Essence 3 dollops of Blueberry & Vanilla Bean Jam Instructions: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf tin. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, diced butter, and caster sugar until well-mixed. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Stir in plain flour, baking powder, chia seeds, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, bicarb soda, buttermilk, and vanilla essence until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Using a butter knife, gently swirl dollops of Blueberry & Vanilla Bean Jam on top of the batter. Bake for approximately 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before slicing. (Or if you can't wait, sneak a warm slice after 10 minutes!) In our opinion, the perfect slice of banana bread should be warm and gooey on the inside with a delicate crunch on the outside. Try out this recipe and let the delightful flavours of banana and blueberry bring joy to your kitchen #bananabread #blueberrybananabread #bananabreadrecipe. Happy baking! 🍌
