Servings: 8 slices
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ⅓ cup chopped waltnuts optional!
- 3 over ripe bananas
- ⅓ cup canola oil or melted butter
- 2 eggs room temp
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup blueberries Fresh or frozen!
Preheat the oven to 350º. Mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork. Add the eggs and oil, whisk well. Option to add 1 tsp of vanilla extract here if you'd like!
Mix the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl, all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, pinch of salt and crushed walnuts if using. Whisk well.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold everything together, add in half of the blueberries. Fold them in, do not over mix the batter.
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment lined bread loaf dish. Add the leftover blueberries to the top gently press them down lightly. Add the granola over the top. Place in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, pull it out and gently cover it lightly with tinfoil (this prevents the granola from burning) cook for another 10-15 minutes or up to an hour *oven temp will vary.
- Be sure to cover the bread around 40 minutes into baking, this prevents the granola topping from burning.
- Use Fresh or frozen blueberries, frozen will give off a different color but both will be great.
- Be sure the baking soda and baking powder are fresh and not expired. This can result in the bread not rising.
- Don't over mix the batter. This results in a gummy texture and can make the bread sink.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months.
