I like to keep things simple. Why have 16 recipes for 16 breads, when you can have one or two that you tweak for different needs and uses? That’s what I love about this recipe for Blueberry bread.
I actually use the same recipe to make banana bread, strawberry bread, banana chocolate chip bread, and pumpkin bread.
I totally love this recipe, not only because of its versatility, but because it makes a great bread that has a crunch to the outside, but is super soft on the inside.
Our favorite variation is to make this with either blueberries or bananas, and sometimes add chocolate chips with the bananas, but feel free to use your imagination. You can try other fruits, such as raspberries or strawberries as well. Enjoy!
