Blueberry Banana Bread-A Delicious Treat

Blueberry Banana Bread goes great with a cup of coffee in the morning, or a glass of milk before bed. You can also eat it in the middle of the day as a snack.

Because we own a blueberry farm I cook with blueberries as much as possible. This loaf of bread was made by my friend Peggy with some of our blueberries and brought to our house as a gift for my husband. Peggy knows Bill likes something sweet with his coffee in the mornings and this bread is a delightful way to start the day.

Bill may like it with his coffee, but I like it all day long because of the blueberries and nuts. I have an ongoing love affair with both.

This is what it looks like right out of the oven cooling on the rack. Peggy brought it over and when I lifted it to the plate it crumbled a little bit but I promise it didn’t affect the taste.

I love blueberries and have tons of blueberry recipes on Pinterest. Be sure and check them out if you are in a Blueberry State of Mind.

One reason I like baking sweet breads is that they taste like a dessert but they are so easy to make. You just mix up your batter, pour it into the greased pan and bake. No icing. No big mess. Just a nice loaf of sweet bread.
