Healthy Blueberry-Banana Bread

Shiraz's Note:

I came up with this recipe when I had a lot of bananas and fresh blueberries to use up. I didn't want to make my usual fattening blueberry muffins or banana bread, so I experimented and came up with this instead. We thought it was pretty good for being low in fat!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins

Directions:

1. Mix together dry ingredients until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, applesauce, and bananas.

Pretty good when I made it. I definitely thought it would be sweeter, but it really grows on you. I found myself eating several pieces a day

My husband and I enjoyed this bread a lot - the blueberries really make it a nice change from regular banana bread. I substituted whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour and it was great and even more healthy! Thanks for sharing!

We really liked this bread. The only thing I did different was add 1/2 t of vanilla and 3/4 t of cinnamon. I will make this again for sure - it is very filling and not too sweet.
