I love blueberries and bananas, and considering how many overripe bananas I had on hand, making this was a no brainer. As my bananas were on the smaller side, I used 4, and instead of fresh blueberries, I used frozen wild blueberries. One whole egg replaced the two egg whites, and I used Starrynews' Spiced Sugar on top to add some crunch and spice. This is a very moist and delicious banana bread! So good!! Thanks for posting, Elmotoo! Made for Veggie Swap #30.

AWESOME. I made this into muffins (got 14 medium sized ones) and cooked them to perfection in 30 minutes. I used 4 small bananas that were frozen and thawed. I also subbed out the egg whites for recipe #104832 with amazing results. The Splenda flavor was hidden which is a plus for me, I decreased the amt of sugar to 1/4 cup which made for a sweet enough bread for us, and I used all whole wheat flour! Almost forgot. . .topped the muffins off with a sprinkling of recipe #297272 which was a great addition. I will certainly make this recipe again. Made for Veggie Swap July 2010. UPDATE: I froze some of the muffins and took them out over the weekend only to find that they were just as moist and delicious as they were when I made them. Great recipe!

The bananas I used here weren't outrageously ripe, so their flavor melded quite nicely with the mild tasting blueberries & we thought the bread to be very satisfying & enjoyable! Would definitely do a similar combination again! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my groupmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #37]

I ended up using 4 bananas, 2 of which had been frozen along with frozen berries that were rinsed and well drained. With the minimal butter, I was a little concerned but the bread was moist and delicious. I used 1 large egg in place of the whites. The loaf did take the full cook time. Made for Aussie Swap.

I thought this bread was just ok tasting. The banana overpowered the rest of the flavors & that is all I really tasted. I did use 3 large bananas. If I was to make again I would probably only use 1-2 bananas with maybe a little applesauce to help with the moistness.
