Instructions

    Batter

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
    • Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. Cut pieces of parchment paper to fit the bottoms and drape over the short ends of the pans. This will make removing the finished loaves easier.
    • Mash bananas in a bowl and set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and butter together until creamy.
    • On low speed, mix in mashed bananas, extract, sour cream, baking soda and salt until combined.
    • Add in flour a little at a time continuing to mix until well-blended.
    • Reserve a small handful of blueberries for the top of loaf.
    • In a separate bowl, place the remaining blueberries and sprinkle with the 4 tbsp. flour. Toss to coat.
    • Fold the floured blueberries into the batter and pour into prepared pans.
    • Sprinkle reserved blueberries across tops of loaves.
    • Bake on center rack of oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
    • Cool in pans for 15 minutes, then, remove from pans to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

    Icing Drizzle

    • Mix cream cheese and butter on medium speed until creamy.
    • Add vanilla and combine.
    • Add powdered sugar and mix until combined. Thin to desired consistency with the milk, adding a little at a time until thinned to your liking.
    • Drizzle icing across tops of cooled loaves. Allow to set up before slicing. Chill for a short time if icing is not setting up fast enough. Humidity can play into the setting up.
