This is a delicious bread! No wonder people compliment you on the recipe. I actually made it as one loaf of bread and 8 muffins. Honestly, I think the batter was a little skimpy, and the loaves would have been very small if I had actually made two full loaves, but this way the amount was perfect. I never thought to combine bananas and blueberries in a bread but the flavors compliment one another perfectly. This one's a keeper.

Absolutely yummy. I did adjust this recipe to suit a diabetic by doing half brown sugar and half Splenda, substituting butter with 1/4 c butter and 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce, instead of 2 eggs, I did 1 egg and 2 egg whites, all whole wheat flour and used frozen blueberries which I placed in a ziploc bag and shook with 1 Tbsf cornstarch first. Then sifted off the access cornstarch. This kept the blueberries from bleeding while baking. I made one large loaf at 50 minutes and 6 regular muffins at 22 minutes. Very delicious. Extremely easy to make. Thanks for posting this.
