Loafing With Muffins

When craving blueberry muffins but want banana bread too, I've got ya covered with my "Blueberry Banana Muffin Bread." Blueberry muffins is always a must for any breakfast or brunch buffet, but so is banana bread. I have combined them into one recipe to save time and boost the flavors of both. Its a great breakfast on the go or just have a slice with a cup of coffee on the porch watching the wild life. Many days on the farm we need a quick breakfast before we get the day started and this always delivers.

Tip: When making bread or cake with fresh berries always mash them to release there juice so it don’t make them bitter after baking. Also if you are watching your sugar in take you can sub the white sugar for Splenda or Truvia they measure one for one.
