Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas well. Whisk in the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay.
  5. In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking.
  6. Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: Mix the batter only until the ingredients are just combined for the most tender crumb.
Ripe Bananas are Key: Use bananas with lots of brown spots for the best flavor and moisture.
Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them. Add them directly to the batter and expect to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
