Ingredients for Blueberry Banana Bread

The best part about this recipe is that it’s made with whole, wholesome ingredients, making it super moist and perfectly sweet. What you need:

White Whole Wheat Flour: This blueberry banana bread is made with white wholemeal flour. This is our favorite flour for making healthy muffins or breads! We choose this flour over regular whole wheat because it makes for a less dense bread!

Blueberries: The star of this Blueberry Banana Bread is obviously the blueberries! This adds a sweet twist to this classic recipe!

Bananas: The second star of this recipe is, of course, mashed bananas. In this recipe we used 3 ripe bananas. Don’t go short and be sure to use RIPE bananas as they are sweeter and more flavorful.

Greek yogurt: For a little extra protein, we’ve thrown in some Greek yogurt in this blueberry banana bread recipe. This also helps reduce the amount of extra fat or oil needed for a moist bread!

vanilla extract: Because every bread deserves some vanilla.

maple syrup: Instead of using refined sugar, we stuck with maple syrup, our favorite plant sugar!

Ccoconut oil: This recipe only requires 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil. If you don’t have this oil at home, you can easily use another cooking oil like canola oil or melted butter.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Frozen blueberries are perfect for this recipe, so feel free to swap out fresh for frozen.
