This blueberry-banana bread is delicious. My grandson, age 2, adores it. It works well for breakfast.

I followed the recipe exactly and I was left with a wonderfully moist and yummy loaf of bread. Had 4 bananas and some blueberries I needed to use up and glad I found this recipe! Will be making again
7.25.20 Baked these in three small loaf pans for 35 minutes @ 350ºF. Just a comment for new cooks…recipe doesn’t tell you to do this, but be sure to mash your bananas before adding. The only thing that I would change in the future would be using 3 bananas instead of 4. I’m not convinced that fourth banana added a a lot more to the flavor, but that additional moisture did affect the texture. But also, my bananas were fairly large, and that may have made a difference. We enjoyed this for a lazy weekend breakfast. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
