Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)

Cinnamon Crunch Topping
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
Instructions

2. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each one before adding the next.
4. Add in the mashed bananas and mix until well combined. Gradually stir in the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Be careful not to overmix the batter or the blueberries will burst.
