Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas The browner, the better for sweetness
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) Frozen can be used directly
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar Can be swapped for honey or maple syrup for a healthier option
  • 1 piece egg For vegan version, use flaxseed meal mixed with water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Add gently to prevent overmixing

  3. Stir in the melted butter until combined.
  4. Mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  5. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, then mix again.
  6. Add the flour and stir until just combined—don’t overmix!

Notes

Store at room temperature for 2-3 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for 2-3 months. Wrap tightly for best results.
