Ladies & Gents, before we get to this beautiful, extra-delicious, SUPERB Blueberry Banana Bread, I have an announcement… PSL is back!!!

NO, not Play Station Limited, as my husband thought… I LOL’ed for a few good minutes when I saw his face – he was dead serious.

But, no. We’re talking about the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks. It’s there!!

BUT! And this is just a thought, BUT I do have the recipe for it. Well, the recipe may not be completely “Starbucks-it”, however this Pumpkin Spice Latte homemade recipe is the best one yet. Scouts honor.

BLUEBERRY BANANA BREAD

Okey, Dokey. Now we can talk about blueberries and bananas. And bread. Or cake. I think it’s as good as cake, and don’t know why it’s called bread, but hey, who am I to talk. I never went to culinary school nor pastry school. I just cook and bake. Aaaaand hope for good results. (My fingers are crossed the entire time that I have something in the oven… I SUCK at getting things right the first time around.)

Yet, I think this awesome banana bread was perfect on the first try.

Usually, when it comes to banana bread, I just throw things in there and pray for greatness. Like this Peanut Butter Banana Bread with Candied Bacon. I know. It sounds ridiculous, but it’s incredible! Elvis approved, eh?!

This time around I just went overboard and bought an insane amount of blueberries. I knew I could eat them all, but I had to make some of those Blueberry Sauce Crepes with Honey Whipped Creama few dozen Blueberry Lemon Muffins, and a loaf, or four, of this seriously delicious Blueberry Banana Bread. In all honesty, you guys, I couldn’t keep my hands off this bread. It’s SO GOOD!

All muffins are stuffed away in the freezer, and I have school snacks for at least a month! The banana bread kinda didn’t make it to the freezer – most of it is in mah belly! If you want to do the same, make this bread ASAP. I promise you will love it. It’s such a good snack, and it goes really well with your morning coffee or tea.

HOW TO KEEP BANANA BREAD MOIST

  • Cover with plastic wrap and then with foil. Banana Bread will last 2 days at room temperature, and 1 week in the fridge.
  • To freeze banana bread, wrap with plastic wrap, then foil, and store it in a large freezer bag. Banana Bread will last 2 to 3 months in the freezer.

    I’ve made this recipe a few times now and LOVE it! It doesn’t last even a whole day in my house. Do you know how I can tweak it though to use chocolate chips instead of blueberries? I just tried a choc chip banana bread recipe and didn’t like it. Thanks so much in advance!

      HI! I also loooove this recipe. I make it all the time with all kinds of add-ins. 🙂 I’m thinking you don’t want to crowd the chocolate chips too much, so about 3/4-cup should be good enough. It tastes great with any other berries, too! Let me know how it goes! Thank you!!

  3. Hi, I was wondering whether it would be possible to sub the sugar for honey? Might make this for Mother’s Day brunch! Looks delish!:)

      HI! This would be a great Mother’s Day treat!! Adding the honey will result in more liquid, thus you’ll have to adjust the amount of dry ingredients by adding more flour. However, because I haven’t tried it, I can’t tell you exactly how much more you might need. Please let me know how it goes.

  4. I love breads like this! I could start every day with a slice and be happy! I love the combination of blueberry and banana! Really pretty photos!

  5. It is delist!. But subbed half of the sugar for brown sugar and made smaller loaves to share, maybe…

      Ooooh brown sugar!! YUM! That is a great idea! Share?! Nonsense. 😉 So glad you enjoyed it!

    I agree with Jen, gorgeous photos!
    And now my morning tea and I will know what to do with the blueberries I put up in the freezer.
    (I think frozen would work fine too)
    Thanks, Kate!

  10. Delish! I don’t understand why sweet/quick breads are not called “cake.” At any rate I love them for their simplicity – and sheer yum!! 😀
