This recipe was inspired from the endless 2020 Quarantine meme’s about banana bread (and because banana and blueberries together is just fabulous). When my sisters and I were younger, we’d go blueberry picking in northern Michigan with our grandpa. We’d eat endless pails and pails of berries before even leaving the berry farm. It’s impressive some of the berries even made it home. This bread is delicious right out of the oven, but also refrigerated overnight. It’s crunchy corners matched with it’s borderline doughy center is just wonderful. Enjoy!

There's something about the taste of handpicked summer blueberries that make recipes like this taste SO much better. This loaf is packed with rich deliciousness and is super moist - highlighting the blueberry flavor with subtle touches of banana.

Notes

I've tested this recipe with almond flour and it does not substitute well. Others have subbed all purpose flour for cassava flour (same ratio) and it turned out great. Monkfruit sweetener has also been used and enjoyed.

Spread some almond butter on a slice, toast it and sip on your morning coffee, or let it cool - refrigerate a slice and enjoy chilled. Enjoy!!
