Blueberries and bananas combine in these tender, golden loaves. Whether you enjoy a slice as a snack or for breakfast, this bread is so flavorful, you won't need butter. —Sandy Flick, Toledo, Ohio

.I have used this recipe and it's a really nice way to use up those ripe bananas and blueberries! Thank you for sharing this recipe! Dawn E. Lowenstein

Yummy combination. I am always looking for different types of banana breads to bake to use up the bananas that are left over from the week. The kids eat this one up quickly.

We are trying to switch to whole wheat as much as possible so I made this recipe using whole wheat flour and it was awesome!

Delicious!

I made mine with butter instead of shortening, only one banana, 1/2 c. blueberries, and added 1/2 c. diced fresh strawberries (it's what I had on hand!). It turned out wonderful! Very soft and delicate texture. I will keep this recipe and make it again for sure.
