Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas The riper, the better!
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) Toss in frozen without thawing.
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Plain yogurt can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 pieces eggs Can be replaced with flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour Can be substituted with almond flour or a gluten-free blend.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
  3. Stir in the coconut oil and sour cream until well combined.
  4. Add in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the batter.
Baking
  1. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best texture, avoid overmixing the batter. Tossing blueberries in a little flour before adding helps prevent sinking.
