Banana Blackberry Bread

February 3, 2016 By Betsy Cohen

Banana Blackberry Bread combines two tasty ingredients in one simple recipe.  Bake, slice and enjoy!

Banana Blackberry Bread


Last week I bought bananas thinking I would make a batch of Banana Brownies. Life got a tad busy and the bananas went past the point of no return for their intended purpose. Then I saw beautiful blackberries in the store and decided that Banana Blackberry Bread would be a wonderful alternative to Banana Brownies.

I cooked the blackberries on the stove because I find they tend to look pretty pathetic when baked fresh into a cake. Once the blackberries cooled, I folded them into the batter.

It is a personal preference whether or not you fold the blackberries in completely or lightly swirl them with the banana batter. Either way, Banana Blackberry Bread is divine to eat warm or cold. Toasted with some butter on top is terrific, as well.

Cuisine: Breakfast, Snack, Dessert
Author: Betsy Cohen
Prep time: 35 mins
Cook time: 1 hour 10 mins
Total time: 1 hour 45 mins
Serves: 10
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces blackberries
  • ⅓ cup (2.60 ounces) plus 1¼ cups (9.50 ounces) sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon (.25 ounces) cornstarch
  • 2 cups (10 ounces) all purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons (.20 ounces) baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon (.10 ounces) salt
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (2.05 ounces) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon (.10 ounces) vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Place the blackberries, ⅓ cup sugar and cornstarch into a medium size saucepan. Smash some of the berries and cook over medium high heat until the mixture is thickened. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  4. Place the butter, bananas and 1¼ cups sugar into a large mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture is blended. Add the eggs. The mixture will look curdled but it will come together soon. Blend in the dry ingredients followed by the vanilla and sour cream.
  5. Either fold the blackberries in completely or lightly swirl them with the banana batter.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Cover after 40 minutes if the top is getting too dark.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
