Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Line the pan with parchment paper so it hangs about 2 inches over the length of the pan. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and poppy seeds. Add the blueberries and toss to coat with the flour mixture. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine the light brown sugar, olive oil, eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Sprinkle with the sanding sugar, poppy seeds and some blueberries.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center will be set and the internal temperature will be about 200 to 205 degrees F when the bread is completely baked.
  7. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the ends of the loaf and unmold.

Notes

    1. Use a metal loaf pan for baking this banana bread. It conducts the heat quickly and more evenly than a glass baking pan.

    1. If you are a fan of nuts, add a cup of chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans along with the dry ingredients.

    1. Use an instant read digital thermometer to check the doneness of the banana bread. It should have an internal temperature of about 200 to 205 degrees F when baked to perfection.

    1. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before unmolding.
