There is something magic about banana breads. Even if you just add the smallest amount of mashed banana to a sweet quick bread, the results are just superb. No one will know it’s gluten-free and vegan. The bread is “risen”, fluffy, moist, durable, thick, delicious, perfect….um…it’s everything you’d want (without any of the scary things)!

Actually, confession, this bread only has 1/3 cup of banana in it. I may have to give the credit to the coconut yogurt in here! Let us not forget the beautiful bursts of blueberries studded throughout either, even if they don’t do their share of “structural and texture” work here. We still love them…those lazy blueberries!

It’s been awhile since I looked at this recipe and I had thought there was more banana, but when I went to edit and write this up over the weekend, I noticed banana wasn’t too predominant. Regardless, I think the combination of the 4 standout ingredients I used are what make this bread so  wonderful. The quadruplet is: Banana, Blueberry, Coconut Yogurt, and Quinoa flour!

Can i get a high-five for delicious healthy quick bread ingredients? **High-Five** I know you all were drawn in for those bursting blubs, weren’t you? It is blueberry season and they are in abundance everywhere you look! Every grocery I go too has containers and containers from large to small that are on sale and with the most plump, sweet, and firm blueberries.

Good thing you can do a lot with blueberries and they are so freezer-friendly! We have them up the wahzoo! I wish I could say that abundance was the bounty of some handpicked blueberries, by yours truly. Sadly, I’ve only ever been strawberry picking, not blueberry. Although, blueberry picking seems extremely tedious. Blueberries are so…tiny! I feel like, to get a good sized basket full, you’d be there for hours and hours!

Maybe if you had a good friend with you, the sun was shining (although, not too hot out), some good conversation going, laughs, some water, an extra basket for blueberries to snack on (you know, for picking fuel), it may not be so bad! Or…I may just be okay with a machine out combing the blueberry bushes and then being sold at the store instead. You know, the reward, sweet reward, without all the hassle 😉

Are you feeling the baking bug? Or shall I say, the BLUEBERRY baking bug? I hope so since this bread is delicious and so moist and so perfectly but subtly sweet. This is a quick bread for the ages. Packed with some quinoa protein too, this blueberry yogurt banana bread makes a perfect breakfast, snack, or maybe a healthy dessert! Naturally sweet, delicious, and so easy to whip together! Now, if only blueberry picking was this easy!

So tell me:

+ Have you ever been blueberry picking? Is it as tedious as it seems?

+ What’s the most abundant fruit(s) in your area? Blueberries, strawberries, and cherries are killing it this year (always on sale too!)

    I’ve been blackberry picking before, but not blueberry–though they’re comparable size. I thought it wasn’t too bad, as long as you rewarded yourself by eating a few every now and then! …Okay, so berries eaten to berries in the bucket may have actually been about a 1:3 ratio. But they were tasty! 😉

    Have you worked much with quinoa flour before? I have NEVER used it. Where do you get it at? The bread looks moist and delicious! Thanks!! 🙂

      Haha, yea, that’s what I thought! You end up eating more and you’re take away dwindles and it’s a never ending cycle!
      Yes! I love quinoa flour! It is a great gluten-free hearty flour. You can see it here and here too.

    Totally loving all of the awesome blueberries right now! I have not been blueberry picking either – though I do get to the Farmer’s Market. That kind of counts. Maybe? Probably not haha.
    Sounds like a great way to use blueberries =)

    I’ve been baking a bunch of loaves of my gluten free banana bread to freeze this week. That way I’ll have a bunch to thaw out for snacks and breakfasts once my baby is born. I want to add this recipe to this mix, too! The blueberries are such a yummy touch!

      It is so good to have baked goods frozen and on the ready! That’s what I do with all my loaves and muffins, etc!

      That’s why I was going to call this “blueberry bread”, but I figured “banana bread” was a better click bait, hahahahaha!

    This looks delicious! I’m such a sucker for banana blueberry bread. And yes, I have been blueberry picking and it is so much fun! It’s almost relaxing picking the blueberries off of the bushes 🙂

    Hahaha my dad and I were just talking about whether we’d really want to pick our own food. The answer: not really. It sounds romantic, but it’s probably too much hassle 😛 Occasionally, apple or berry picking is fun, but if I had to do it every time I wanted to make food… nah.

    Oh, Rebecca, I don’t care if it’s the 1/3 cup of banana or the coconut yogurt that’s made this gorgeous banana bread the way it is. Just… could ya hand me a slice or two? 😉 I’m seriously drooling just staring at these photos! The crackly top, the moist texture and those plump blueberries… what more could anyone really ask for? 🙂 Love it!

    I love putting fresh berries in breads, especially blueberries. I love how they go all soft and bleed into the batter and then when you bite into the warm bread, they pop in your mouth. Ughh, I’m salivating, and now I just want to make blueberry bread . . .

    Blueberry banana bread is such a classic favorite and love the look of the texture in yours! Blueberry picking actually is fun and my kids got a kick out of trying to pick the biggest ones when we went. My only issue with it is the heat!

      Haha, yea, that’s why some nice cooling beverages are a must….maybe some water with “blueberry ice cubes”…frozen blubs!
