Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mash 2-3 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth, leaving small chunks for texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened butter and ¾ cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of blackberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, checking for doneness.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Use overripe bananas for optimal flavor and moisture. Avoid overmixing to maintain texture. Cool completely before slicing.
