It has been a long time since I’ve made the time to cook or bake anything new, which means this post is actually my first recipe THIS YEAR. So crazy!
Anywho, what better way to kick off this year than with some of my famous blueberry banana bread? Okay, maybe it’s not famous just yet, but I made it once and when I brought it to the office, my coworkers raved about it all morning. So there. Also, anyone who knows me, knows I make a killer vegan banana bread, so there ya go. Reputation upheld.
This blueberry banana bread recipe is naturally sweet and moist from all the bananas, with the addition of cinnamon that goes heavenly with the blueberries. For this recipe, I used some frozen wild blueberries I had from the summertime, but you can use fresh ones too. If you do use frozen berries, make sure they aren’t caked with ice and rinse them first if they are.
Pro tip: Enjoy this banana bread with some almond butter on top for the best on-the-go breakfast you’ll ever have!
