Blueberry Banana Bread

Have bananas that have gone bad? Make banana bread! The blueberries added make it extra sweet and perfect for a cozy Sunday morning brunch.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 3 large over-ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/3 cup apple sauce
• 1/2 cup agave nectar
• 2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup blueberries

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Add parchment paper if available on hand for an easy transfer out of the pan.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas and add lemon juice, apple sauce, and agave nectar. Stir well to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, and stir just until the mixture is well-combined.
4. Fold in the blueberries to the mixture. Fold, don’t mix, so they stay plump in the bread when they cook.
5. Transfer the dough into the loaf pan and bake until an toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes.
6. Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
