A nice light bread with blueberries and bananas. May double the ingredients to make more than 1 loaf because 1 loaf will go very fast! This bread can be frozen if you feel like making more than 1 or 2. This tastes great in the cooler months ahead with a cup of tea in the morning. DELICIOUS!

  • This is absolutely the best banana bread & anything recipe ever! It goes together like a dream and the flavor!! WOW!! Make more than one, that's for certain! Otherwise, it'll come out of the oven and disappear while still cooling; it's that delicious. I've also made it using strawberries and I intend to try with raspberries, as well. I wonder if there's an apricot bread recipe out there??? I highly endorse this bread, you will not be disappointed, I promise!
