Triple Berry Banana Bread with Lemon Glaze
Triple Berry Banana Bread is a fun, fruity twist on the beloved classic. With blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and a simple lemon glaze, this banana bread is one for the books!
Servings 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas about 4 medium bananas
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mixed blueberries, raspberries and blackberries (if frozen, do not thaw), divided
For the Lemon Glaze:
- juice of half a lemon about 3 tablespoons
- ½ cup powdered sugar or more if you want a thicker glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, mashed banana, yogurt, and melted (slightly cooled) butter, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to over mix. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of the berries, reserving 1/2 cup for topping.
- Pour batter into prepared bread pan. Sprinkle the remaining berries on top, gently pressing them down into the batter.
- Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. If bread seems to be browning too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
- Cool the loaf in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely before cutting.
- To prepare the lemon glaze, whisk together the lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the bread just before eating.
Notes
A combination of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are the recommended berries for this recipe. Strawberries can sometimes prevent the bread from baking fully so we recommend avoiding them; however, if you choose to include them, make sure they are sliced or diced.
