Blueberry banana bread is such a delicious twist on traditional banana bread, with the addition of blueberries and coconut. Its such a yummy flavor combination!
Oh, how I love a good banana bread. This recipe just took it to the next level by making it into a blueberry banana bread. The addition of blueberries and coconut makes this banana bread just so, so good. I have fallen for these two flavors a lot lately, using them in so many good ways.
I have been adding blueberries to salads, pancakes, and straight into my mouth. The coconut to more cookies than I ever really need to eat. I hope you will enjoy this recipe, I think it is delicious and wish I was not giving the loaf away.
The banana blueberry bread batter has yogurt and melted butter in for such a moist, delicious bread. Adding yogurt instead of oil makes everything seem healthier and certainly makes it very moist.
When baking this bread don’t over bake, the knife should come out just barely clean or mostly clean – you don’t want a sticky batter left on the knife but a tiny amount is okay. I always bake to the lower minute amount then add increments of 2 to 5 minutes to be careful to not over bake.
