    Amish Blueberry Banana Coffeecake

    Published: Jan 9, 2014 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    Cold winter mornings are especially tasty times for homemade coffeecakes.  Add a splash of summer to your coffeecakes by incorporating some fruit into them.  Yum!  Blueberries and bananas can at least make us taste warmer days even as the snow swirls outside.

    Blueberries and bananas are both popular among the Amish.  These are two fruits that you can regularlyfind stocked in Amish-owned bulk food stores.  In fact, basic banana bread and blueberry muffins are staples in Amish kitchens.    The increasing Amish presence in Maine means that blueberries are really within reach for Amish cooks there.   Among the Maine Amish blueberries are used in more than muffins, they are put into cookies, cakes, and even salads.

    To help ward off the winter blahs a bit Rachel made this delicious coffeecake.  It is a recipe that comes to me from an Amish woman in Kentucky, hardly a blueberry capital.  This coffeecake makes a delicious start to the day.  I'm someone who likes sweets so I might even add a glaze to it or a sugary crumb topping, but I'll leave that to you to do, this coffeecake tastes great just on its own!

    Ingredients
    • BLUEBERRY BANANA COFFEECAKE
    • 1¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon fine salt
    • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
    • 3 very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed with a fork
    • 1 cup blueberries {if using frozen, thaw before using}
    Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Grease your favorite coffeecake dish -- an 9 x 13 rectangular glass baking dish works well.
    3. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
    4. Whisk the eggs and vanilla together in a liquid measuring cup with a spout and set aside.
    5. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    6. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the butter, while mixing.
    7. Add the bananas {the mixture will be lumpy}.
    8. With a rubber spatula, mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
    9. Fold in the blueberries and transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
    10. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the coffeecake comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.

      This looks delicious! I guess I never thought about combining blueberries and bananas. We like both,so it makes sense! I'm with you,Kevin..I think I'd add a crumb topping.
