Banana Blueberry Streusel Bread

Those overripe bananas on your counter are perfect for this tender quick bread recipe. Banana Blueberry Streusel Bread is easy to make and so delightful to eat.

Make this.

Seriously. Use up those overripe bananas — or put a couple aside — and make this. It comes together quickly and requires no other special equipment than some bowls, spoons, an oven and a loaf pan. Plus, it’s so good — a satisfying combination of a lightly sweetened bread with slightly tart berries and a crunchy streusel topping.

Yes, delightful is the right word for it.

Banana Blueberry Streusel Bread is also nourishing, satisfying and comforting. It’s good for breakfast — and doubles as a great stress-baking loaf (oooh, smashing bananas is fun!).

Plus, you might just have all the ingredients already. That’s always a relief, right?

If my analytics — the data that tells me what people are looking at on my site — is to be believed, lots of people are baking bread right now. They are digging into yeasted loaves and quick breads and no-knead breads. All of them.

So why not this bread too?

Come on, you know you want to.

I mean, even my Bippity was all about it.

No, I didn’t actually let him have a bite. He might have snagged a crumb inadvertently though. Maybe.

Look, I am not saying that Banana Blueberry Streusel Bread will fix the world’s problems or bring normal back. It won’t. But it will give you something to do with your hands, and something to nourish your loved ones (or yourself) with. Sometimes that has to be enough.
