If you follow me on INSTAGRAM, you may already know that our family is leaving Northern California and moving to the other side of the country. Needless to say, life is full and we are deep in relocation planning, selling/buying houses, packing, and saying good bye to our sweet community. Having my go-to recipes to lean into during this time has been a life-saver.
This juicy little loaf somehow brings a bit of joy into our house as we pack up in preparation for our next adventure. The smell. The fluffy tender texture. The sweet marriage of bananas and blueberries.
It’s the little things.
BAKING TIPS
❤️ Very ripe bananas give the BEST flavor. Brown spots = sweet bread.
❤️ Fresh blueberries work best. If using frozen berries, do not defrost beforehand. You may need to add a few extra tablespoons of flour to absorb some of the moisture.
❤️ Do not over-mix. Quick breads should be mixed just until ingredients are combined. Otherwise, your bread may sink in the middle or not cook properly.
❤️ Cover your banana bread with aluminum foil 35 minutes into baking. Almond flour will get very dark very quickly.
❤️ Let the loaf cool almost completely before slicing for BEST texture. Trust me on this one.

This is our favorite new bread! My girls (8 and 12) love a slice for breakfast and it’s the best way to use up old bananas and frozen blueberries. Thanks for all your recipes, we cook them often and they always become fantastic family favorites.
