This Healthier Blueberry Banana Bread is a lightened up version of the classic homemade banana bread recipe. Plump blueberries are baked into the bread to add a delicious flavor element that’s perfect for breakfast.
You would think that after moving 5+ times in the past 4 years would make me really good at it. But nnnooooo.
I still have boxes of random artifacts that sit untouched in closets year after year. I still continue to purchase more cookware and appliances despite the fact that they don’t fit in any of my kitchens. And I still wait about a week before moving to even think about packing.
My new apartment search is in full swing, and the only thing that’s keeping me motivated is the possibility of waking up a block from the lake.
Oh, and Healthier Blueberry Banana Bread.
Is there anyone who doesn’t love banana bread? This Healthier Blueberry Banana Bread takes the favorite breakfast recipe and turns it into a lightened up, blueberry-filled treat. This bread is super easy to make and tastes great.
Be careful not to underbake it – mine turned out a little undercooked the first time around. This bread is sweetened with honey and apple sauce, plus oat flour is used in place of regular flour to make it a bit healthier.
If you don’t have oat flour, process regular oats in a food processor until it’s very fine. Then, make Healthier Blueberry Banana Bread and eat the whole loaf yourself. I won’t judge.
