Instructions

    1 Cup Fresh Blackberries, roughly chopped

    1 ½ teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • Bake the blackberry banana bread in a 350*F oven for 57-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Allow the loaf to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Your bananas should be very brown for this recipe. I wait until they are at least ⅓ brown. Don't use bananas that just have brown spots on them. They will not be sweet enough.
The batter will look lumpy because of the pieces of banana, and that's okay! Don't overmix the batter in an attempt to smooth it out.
