Blueberry Banana Bread

Banana bread meets blueberry muffin in this fabulously fruity morning mashup that’s quick and easy (there’s a reason they’re called quick breads after all, no electric mixer required!)

This moist, tender, and flavorful banana bread is studded with fresh blueberries (but frozen works too!) and drizzled with a vibrant blueberry glaze for a fruity twist on a morning staple.

Last year’s strawberry banana bread was downright delightful, so I figured, why not do a blueberry version?

Not only is it less work than the strawberry version, but since blueberries have a lower water content and are more ‘contained’ in their own little skins, the whole macerate/syrup step isn’t needed, just a quick toss with some flour then fold the berries straight into the banana bread batter.

At this point, I’ve got banana bread recipes for every season: strawberry for spring, blueberry for summer, pumpkin banana bread for fall, and for winter might I suggest my double chocolate banana bread or even black sesame swirl banana bread (trust me it’s lovely!)

I’ve also got recipes for banana bread muffins if that’s more your style (and know that any banana bread recipe, including this one, can easily be made in muffin form! For reference 1 standard sized loaf is equal to about 12 muffins.)

Question though, how many banana bread recipes is too many? 🤔 Does such a limit even exist?
