Banana Blueberry Lemon Bread
BLUEBERRY BANANA BREAD BAKING TIPS
Toss your blueberries in a few tablespoons of flour and coat evenly. This helps prevent your blueberries from sinking to the bottom of your bread. Use this tip anytime you’re baking with blueberries!
Use ripe bananas, when they’re turning brown, this is the perfect banana for baking.
If you don’t have fresh blueberries, you CAN use frozen blueberries in this recipe!
Every oven is different, be sure to test your bread with a skewer or knife inserted in the center until it comes out clean.
