Blueberry Banana Bread is a moist quick bread that is easy to make. Fresh blueberries are a wonderful addition and go nicely with the banana. This recipe is a great way to use over ripe bananas. The riper they are, the moister and more flavorful the bread will be. When the bananas are turning black they are the very best.
