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!

This is amazing!!! I used all wheat flour since I didn't have any white flour on hand. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Thanks for sharing, Shiraz! My favorite kind or recipe - healthy AND delicious!

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

This is so delicious! ALTHOUGH, I did have to use 1/3 cup canola oil because I didn't have any applesauce, which I didn't mind because I don't feel like it's a terrible amount, plus, it's a healthy oil. The sweetness is JUST RIGHT! Not too sweet, but just enough. I did also add a bit of vanilla in the wet mixture. I love the blueberries in the bread!! It really makes it a extra special banana bread. I really loved this! Thanks for posting!!!!
