Banana bread is something I grew up eating. While I LOVE bananas, I really don’t want to eat them at all when they have spots on them. They have to be yellow, and firm, and absolutely perfect. So… when they turn, my poor mother would be left with a pile of bananas that I would refuse to eat. She regularly made banana bread for my brother and me – and now I make it often for my children.

There’s NO way to guess how many bananas will get eaten before they turn inedible (according to me), so I do end up with plenty for baking. It’s kind of a nice problem to have, right?

I love putting spins on old favorite recipes, and since banana bread lends itself so well to mixing it up – I am so happy to share this one with you. This Blueberry Banana Bread is as delicious as it is pretty. Make a loaf to share with friends and family!

Kylee’s Notes & FAQs

• Use fairly ripe bananas – riper ones are sweeter and lend themselves well to baking
• You can use frozen blueberries, but you will likely see a little “bleeding” of juice (which is soooo not a problem). You could try tossing them in a little flour, if you are worried.
• Ensure you only mix the batter until JUST combined – overmixing will make the finished product tough.
• Switch out the blueberries for blackberries or raspberries!
