Tips
Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and texture.
Toss frozen blueberries with a little of the banana mixture before folding them in to help prevent excessive bleeding.
Avoid overmixing once the blueberries are added.
If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil during the final 10–15 minutes.
Let the loaf cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
