Googled for something to do with 3 bananas and use up some of my frozen blueberries, checked out the index and found this recipe. Had planned to try it, but forgot about it.I follow this recipe but divide it into two regular loaf pans:
BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK BANANA BREAD
Printed from COOKS.COM
1 stick butter, melted
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. buttermilk
3 over ripe bananas
3 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. frozen blueberries
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Mix butter, sugar and brown sugar together. Add eggs, buttermilk. Mix well. Add bananas, mashed. Mix together flour, soda, salt and add to banana mixture. Add blueberries--DO NOT OVERMIX!! Add walnuts.
Pour 1/2 of mixture into a regular loaf pan--greased and floured. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar across top of mixture. Bake at 325 degrees for 70-80 minutes for single pan. 60 to 70 minutes for two. Cool in pans 10 minutes.
3.Bake it at the lower heat, if you turn it up higher, it may bake fast on the outside, but the inside may still be raw. 2.I usually make banana bread with less sugar then the recipe calls for because bananas are already so sweet and the full amount is just too much for me.1. That is the size of my loaf pan. Keep an eye on the bread, if you think it might be done earlier then it said, poke a knife in the middle and see if it comes out clean. Also, let me know how it turns out! I have bananas for baking in the freezer and I keep forgetting about them!Googled for something to do with 3 bananas and use up some of my frozen blueberries, checked out the index and found this recipe. Had planned to try it, but forgot about it. Gonna try this tomorrow, got the 3 bananas and blueberries ready...
Dumb questions:
1- I have several loaf pans and all measure 5.25 X 9.25 X 2.75 inches . Are these Regular Loaf Pan Size?
2- One reviewer said leave off the brown sugar on top, they thought it was too sweet. What do ya think? Use the sugar topping or leave it off?
3- Bake at 325 for 70-80 minutes? Or try it at 350 and expect it to bake less than an hour?
This is my favorite banana bread--I have some in the freezer now.Googled for something to do with 3 bananas and use up some of my frozen blueberries, checked out the index and found this recipe. Had planned to try it, but forgot about it.

Thanks for opine. How do you freeze the bananas? Will post update tomorrow, wanted to bake it tonite, but supper is monopolizing the oven3.Bake it at the lower heat, if you turn it up higher, it may bake fast on the outside, but the inside may still be raw. 2.I usually make banana bread with less sugar then the recipe calls for because bananas are already so sweet and the full amount is just too much for me.1.

1. Use the two loaf pans. This recipe will not cook correctly and will "flow" into your oven in a regular loaf pan. I think the size posted here is the regular loaf pan size.
2. You are supposed to reserve a bit of the batter, sprinkle on the brown sugar and the put some batter over the top of the brown sugar. It is up to you if you do this or not. Me, I love brown sugar and have been known to eat it by the spoonful....
3. I have a convection oven that automatically lowers the temperature by 25 degrees. For most recipes I add 15 to 20 degrees so I do not bake at the temperature listed. Baking usually takes about an hour so yes, you can raise the temperature(note: the reaction of acid to baking soda needs to be at 325 so going that low can cause the batter to not rise)

Let me know how the recipe works out for you @DigMyChicks
