Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (338 g) mashed very ripe bananas
  • 1 (14 oz/397 g) can sweetened full fat condensed milk
  • 2 cups (265 g) self-rising flour, see note before starting
  • 1 cup (133 g) fresh sweet blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Add mashed bananas and sweetened condensed milk to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until the two ingredients are fully mixed.
  • Add the flour and use a spatula to fold it into the batter. Be careful not to overmix. You may feel the need to use a whisk or to mix the batter very hard, but doing so will cause the bread to have a dense layer at the bottom when it bakes. Just gently fold until all the flour is incorporated and you don't see pockets of flour in the batter.
  • Add the blueberries and gently stir together until evenly combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. The loaf should also be golden brown on top and if you apply light pressure to the surface, it should bounce back.
  • Let bread fully cool and then slice with a bread knife. If desired, you can drizzle the bread with glaze before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Self-rising flour: There are 2 main kinds of self-rising flour sold in the US. One that is a lower protein flour (2 grams per 1/4 cup serving) and one that has a regular amount of protein or the same protein amount that is in all purpose flour (3 grams per 1/4 cup). Brands like King Arthur Flour and White Lily make the low protein flour. Brands like Gold Medal* and Amazon Fresh* contain a regular protein amount. The amount of protein affects how much liquid is absorbed. For this recipe, a regular protein self-rising flour was used. If you have a self-rising flour with low protein, I recommend you make the homemade self-rising flour below for this recipe because otherwise your batter will be too wet.

  • Homemade self-rising flour: Combine 2 cups of all purpose flour, 3 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk to evenly combine.
  • Optional lemon glaze: Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to a medium bowl. Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice and whisk until powdered sugar is completely dissolved. Start with just 1 tbsp of lemon juice and if the glaze is too thick, add a little more. If you prefer a thinner glaze, add more lemon juice.
  • This recipe works best with ripe, sweet blueberries.
