Blueberry Banana Bread

You know my rule... when the house guests come into town, out come the quick bread recipes! This weekend's flavor... Blueberry Banana.

My Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a tried and true recipe. In fact, I usually have everything on hand pretty much any day of the week to bake this bread at a moment's notice. For fresh flare, I decided to swap the chocolate chips for juicy blueberries. Since I nixed the sweet chocolate treat, I gave this particular loaf a beautifully crisp and crackly cinnamon sugar topping.

Ordinary ingredients transform into something stellar for a homemade addition to your breakfast table or convenient afternoon snack!
