Cakes look beautiful when decorated with this French buttercream frosting. Before serving, you must allow it to come to room temperature because it becomes hard when refrigerated. With this recipe, you cannot produce flowers. I make birthday cakes for my family using this recipe every time.

Love ❤️ perfect taste and ver Moist l spread cream cheese icing on top mmmmm❤️
I used one large 9” loaf pan and added cinnamon. I used olive oil instead of butter. Turned out good.
I made it in a 9×5 loaf pan since I don’t have the minis. Added 2 tsps of baking powder, 2 tsps of cinnamon ( COVID killed my taste buds) a handful of walnut pieces, and 2 tsps of vanilla bean . 2 tablespoons of flax seed meal. Cooked at 350 f for 1 hour. Perfect. Moist, flavorful for my jacked up tastebuds and quick to prepare. I did use parchment paper instead of greasing the pan. Personal preference. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Deelicious, and easy to make ! It came out perfect , positively Yummy ;p
Yummy! Added a touch of cinnamon.
I doubled the recipe and also added some all spice. I did muffins and a loaf of bread. They both turned out delicious! I tossed my blueberries in flour before adding and they are perfectly distributed throughout. Thanks so much!
I personally double the recipe and bake one large loaf and three minis. In my household we like the full sized slices and even let some dry and make french toast with it. (fabulous!) Then I can give the three small loaves away. Friends and family request it!!
Used 24 muffins. I put a little extra sugar on top of each muffin before baking. Baked about 25 min.
Taste is wonderful! Just wish it had risen better.
I liked it, added about a teaspoon and a half of cinnamon.
The recipe for blueberry banana bread is amazingly delicious. Definitely will make again! .
Added walnuts and cooked two minis and one small loaf pan. Minis were 40 minutes and loaf was 45 minutes. I think a half to one teaspoon of baking powder would be a good addition.
It was very good, I did have to bake it longer
The bread came out fluffy and moist! I tried it for the first time and it’s excellent! I did somehow made these changes: 1. 1 cup AP flour + 1 cup oat flour instead of 2 cups of AP flour. 2. 1/2 cup of brown sugar + 1/4 cup of white sugar instead of 1 full cup of white sugar (still it came out very sweet so I suggested to reduce it even more. 3. Added 1 spoon of whole fat milk 4. Buttered 2 regular aluminum baking foil pans and dusted brown sugar + cinnamon powder at the bottom and at the top of the bread (highly recommended!) 5. Coated the blueberries with flour so that it won’t sink 6. Added chopped walnuts for some crunch and 1 medium banana slices for topping decoration 7. It definitely took over 45 minutes to bake it, I guess every oven is different.
great bread!
Followed recipe, except I only had frozen blueberries, which I thawed and rinsed. Used an 8 loaf mini pan and baked for 30 minutes. Perfection.
I made this GF using 1 on 1 King Arthur flour. It turned out well, but I had to cook it longer — about 12 minutes.
Very easy to bake! It turned out very fluffy and light, if that’s what you want. I halfed the recipe and cooked it for 25 minutes (cook 30 to 35 since I like it a bit raw) and it turned out perfect! I added my own chocolate chips and it tasted fantastic! I will be making this again! 😀
I use this recipe a lot and have frozen many loaves when I make a batch. It tastes so moist and freezes so well. Love it.
Yummy… 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 cup of rice flour + 1 cup of oatmeal.
Great recipe and very easy. I added sliced almonds folded in at the end. Topped with sliced almonds and fres
