Glazed Blueberry Banana Bread Mini Loaf
No sharing required with these personal size glazed blueberry banana bread loaves.
You know how it is when bananas pass that stage of being just ripe enough to eat?
It’s when they get a few too many brown spots on them.
The only way not to waste them at this point is to let them sit on the counter and tell yourself that you’ll make banana bread with them.
This happens to me all the time and I feel so guilty when I don’t have time to make banana bread and have to throw the bananas away.
This banana bread was a result of one of those times when I went a little too crazy buying bananas that were on sale.
But the good news is, this banana blueberry bread is really good and with the glaze on top…it’s even better.
Although this recipe is made in mini loaves, the bread can also be made into muffins or one large loaf.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Bread – very ripe bananas, blueberries, flour, granulated sugar, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and butter
Glaze – powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
For the Bread:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream the Butter, Sugar and Eggs – In a large bowl add softened butter,
and sugar.
Then beat with a mixer.
To the bowl, add the eggs.
Here’s where I got way too fancy schmancy for my own good.
I decided to try and crack an egg with one hand.
And guess what, it didn’t work.
So, I fished out the eggshell from the batter, and on I went with the recipe.
Next, beat the eggs in with the butter and sugar mixture until creamy.
Set aside for a moment.
For the Dry Ingredients – In a medium size bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Whisk together.
For the Batter – To the bowl with the butter mixture, add the dry ingredients a little at a time…
…while mixing on low speed.
In a separate small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.
Then add the mashed bananas to the batter and mix together.
Next,
…to the mixing bowl,
…add blueberries.
and gently mix them into the batter with a spatula.
Grease the mini loaf pans (8 cavity mini loaf pan tray – dimension of 16.06 x 10.12 x 1.57) or add paper liners.
Distribute the batter evenly into each loaf pan or paper liner.
Baking the Bread – Bake in a preheated oven (at 350 degrees F.) until a wooden toothpick inserted into the bread comes out dry (about 45 minutes).
When the loaf pans are cool enough to handle, remove the loaves from each pan.
Place them onto a cooling rack and let cool.
For the Glaze:
To a small bowl, add powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
Mix together until smooth.
If the consistency of the mixture is too thick, add just a touch more milk.
The glaze should be wet enough to drizzle.
Place the bread loaves on a large plate or back into the cooled loaf pan.
Next,
…drizzle the glaze on top of each mini loaf.
Serve warm or…
…at room temperature.
Really good topped with butter too.

Love this recipe. Tried it once without the blueberries. They were still divine. Will try it again with some berries.
Thanks again!
Hi Sangy, so glad you liked it. Thank you for letting me know how it turned out. Have a great day!
Where can I find mini loaf pan liners?? The ones you’ve used here are so cute and all I can find are plain white ones.
Thanks!
Judy
Hi Judy, I found these liners at Michael’s Craft Store in their dollar-bins by the check out counter. It was one of those things where I wasn’t looking for them but happened to see them. But you’re right, I sure don’t see the colored ones often. Maybe it’s something you can find online on their site or perhaps other sites like this store. Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
Sounds delicious! I do have a question on your liners. Where did you ever come across such adorable paper liners?
Hi Crystal, I bought them at Michael’s Craft Store. I found them on one of their mark-down racks and just loved how dainty they looked. I haven’t seen them since. One of those things that you find when you’re not looking for them. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
