This quick bread is so easy to make. In fact, mixer is not even required. So, what are we waiting for, let’s prep and start baking.

What I love the most about this is that, this recipe is not just easy to make but at the same time it is customizable. This means that you can use wheat flour instead of all purpose flour, and trade the butter for olive oil. And it will still give you same result, moist and delicious.

Adding nuts would also be great, but I haven’t tried them yet.

I did try using fresh strawberries (chopped strawberries into small size) instead of blueberries. It turned out good, but not as good as using Blueberries. 🙂

TIPS FOR PERFECTLY MOIST BANANA & BLUEBERRY BREAD

• Use overly ripe bananas (previously frozen are great) for moist and lots of banana flavor
• Fold wet & dry ingredients together with spatula for a tender texture
• Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing will result to dense and rubbery loaf

STORING/FREEZING/THAWING PROCESS

• Cool the bread completely, no matter how you plan to store it. This is an important step.
• Fresh baked loaf/bread last for 4 to 5 days at room temperature in a sealed container or 1 week inside the fridge
• How to freeze slices –  slice the bread and double wrap it with plastic wrap then aluminum foil, then place in an airtight bag, making sure to remove the air out.
• How to freeze half & whole loaf –  wrap the bread tightly in a plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil, and place in an airtight bag or zip bag. Removing the air out as much as possible then place it in the freezer.
• How to thaw slices – remove the pre-wrapped slice of your loaf and place it on the countertop for 10 to 20 minutes (depending on the thickness of your slice). You can also thaw it in the microwave for 30 seconds and put it in the toaster if you want to achieve a crispier edge.
• How to thaw half & whole loaf – remove your loaf from the airtight or zip bag and place it on the countertop overnight. Slice and enjoy.
