\"Blueberry<\/a>Here in Houston, blueberries are in season, and I love blueberries!\u00a0 They have always been my favorite berry and one of my overall favorite fruits.\u00a0 I eat them with my homemade Nutty Granola<\/a> and raw milk, in smoothies, in homemade ice cream, and now also in banana nut bread.\u00a0 I found these blueberries at my local farmers market.<\/p>\n

Somehow the combination of moist banana and blueberries produced a bread even more delicious than when using either one by itself.\u00a0 An even bigger plus is that blueberries<\/a> are very nutritious and pack a lot of health benefits.\u00a0 Bananas<\/a> are good for you too!<\/p>\n

Here’s how I made my blueberry banana nut bread:<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

2 \u00bd\u00a0 cups organic flour (I used Jovial Einkorn high extraction flour so that I would not need to soak the flour)
\n2\/3 cup organic sucanat or other unrefined sweetener (I used Rapunzel whole sugar)
\n3 \u00bd teaspoons baking powder (I used Rumford aluminum-free baking powder)
\n1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt (I used Celtic Sea Salt
\n3 tablespoons oil (I used Olea olive oil, but coconut oil would work well too)
\n1\/3 cup milk (I used local raw whole milk)
\n1 egg, preferably from pastured chickens
\n1 \u00bc cups mashed organic banana (about 2 to 3 medium)
\n1 cup organic blueberries (I used fresh local, but frozen would work too)
\n1 cup chopped nuts (I used chopped soaked and dehydrated pecans)<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n

Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
\nButter bottom only of loaf pan (I used a glass Pyrex 9 x 5″ loaf pan).
\nMix all ingredients except fruits and nuts. Beat for about 30 seconds.
\nMix in mashed banana.
\nFold in blueberries and chopped nuts.
\nPour into loaf pan.<\/p>\n

\"Slice<\/a>Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.<\/p>\n

Cool slightly then loosen sides and place on a rack to cool completely before slicing.<\/p>\n

Enjoy with lots of butter from grassfed cows!\u00a0 (You can see that the butter is beginning to melt.\u00a0 The bread smelled so good cooking, I just couldn’t wait to try a piece.)<\/p>\n
