Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon for blueberries
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup quick cooking oats
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup butter room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 bananas very ripe
  • ½ cup pecans coarsely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper spritzed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Mix the oats with buttermilk and allow to soak for at least 10 minutes.
  • Stir together the remaining flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar and beat until well blended. Add the eggs and bananas. Continue mixing until combined.
  • Scrape down the bowl and add the flour mixture. Mix just until evenly blended.
  • Fold in the blueberries and pecans, leaving some for the topping.
  • Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Top with remaining blueberries and pecans.
  • Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
