The PERFECT pair
Blueberry banana quick bread is the best of both worlds
Classic banana bread will never go out of style, although a good banana bread mashup is really hard to beat (think: pumpkin banana bread, zucchini banana bread and chocolate chip banana bread).
To me, the most irresistible of all will always be blueberry banana bread. These two fruits recipes join forces for one impossibly moist and tender quick bread.
Are bananas and blueberries good together?
Yes! Creamy, mellow banana and tart, vibrant blueberries are natural partners. In fact, they show up together in quite a few recipes: blueberry banana smoothies and blueberry banana snack cake, for example.
Mixing blueberries into banana bread batter gives this classic quick bread an extra pop of sweet, tangy flavor.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Fresh blueberries are always my top pick for quick bread and blueberry muffins (they hold their shape better during baking), but with that said, frozen blueberries also work well here.
No need to thaw the berries first — just add them to the batter straight from the freezer. Frozen blueberries will soften and plump just like fresh berries, although when using frozen blueberries, the color is more likely to bleed into the bread.
