Blueberry Banana Bread Ingredients
One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s made with whole, healthy ingredients leaving it super moist and perfectly sweet. Here’s what you need: In-season: blueberries in season? Use them up in this banana bread recipe! Healthy: this healthy blueberry banana bread is made with whole grains, coconut oil, and is naturally sweetened with maple syrup. White whole wheat flour: this blueberry banana bread is made with a white whole wheat flour base. This is our go-to flour when making healthy muffins or loaves! We choose this flour over normal whole wheat because it creates a less dense bread! Blueberries: the star of this blueberry banana bread is obviously the blueberries! It’s what gives this classic recipe a sweet twist! Bananas: the runner-up star of this recipe is, of course, mashed bananas. In this recipe, we used 3 ripe bananas. Don’t sell yourself short and make sure you use RIPE bananas because they’re sweeter and more flavorful. Greek yogurt: For a little extra protein, we snuck some Greek yogurt into this blueberry banana bread recipe. This also helps reduce the amount of additional fat or oil needed in order to get a moist bread! Vanilla extract: Cuz every loaf deserves some vanilla. Maple syrup: Instead of using refined sugar, we stuck with maple syrup, our favorite plant-based sugar! Coconut oil: This recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil. If you don’t have this oil at home, you casn easily sub for a different baking oil such as canola or melted butter.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Frozen blueberries work perfectly in this recipe so feel free to swap fresh for frozen.
