Banana Blueberry Bread

I have always enjoyed baking and I love it more than ever now, because I get to bake for my little one. And for her, I only want to bake the healthiest and tastiest recipes.

This recipe that I use, is one that I found after having tried multiple recipes for a healthy blueberry banana bread. And I have become of fan of banana bread since! This recipe makes a super delicious, moist and healthy bread, one that kids and adults will love. It’s perfect because you don’t feel guilty about eating it. It doesn’t contain refined sugar nor does it contain refined flour. It’s perfect for snack time (for baby or you) or for post meal cravings for desserts. When my little one comes home from daycare and she’s starving, she loves to eat this, as does my husband when he gets home from work. And there’s no better validation for my food then my daughter eating it!
