While preparing these variations, I have gone through several situations. So, get a lot of learnings regarding some do’s and don’ts. Here, I am going to share some of the tips that you can follow during your blueberry banana bread cooking time:

  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries to prepare this recipe. I always use fresh blueberries. However, you can easily store frozen blueberries in the freezer. So, if you have frozen blueberries then your next fantastic blueberry banana bread is coming on your plate.
  • If you are going to use frozen blueberries then you must not add any extra moisture. It may end up with your banana bread to be undercooked. You need to wash your frozen blueberries to wash out extra ice.
  • You should use ripe bananas for the best taste. Ripe bananas usually have yellow peel and they are softer. Also, it comes with wonderful flavorings. 
  • To have the best result, you must have a measuring cup and measure all the things that I have mentioned above accordingly. 3 large bananas equal roughly one and a half cups of smashed banana. it will give the most consistent result.
  • If you want to add some variety then you can. You can try blueberry mixes with cranberry, golden raisins, etc.
  • You can use unsalted butter to make this banana and blueberry loaf.
  • You can use relatively fresh baking soda and other ingredients to get the best result. 
  • You can freeze blueberry banana bread, it freezes well.
