Here we go with my banana and blueberry loaf. It is moist and stays that way for days. I wrap it in tin foil and place it in the fridge. It really is a very good gluten-free loaf. Blueberries and bananas are two of the fruits which are low in fructose and so okay for me to eat though always in moderation. No fruit is completely fructose free, of course. Fortunately I love blueberries and bananas. Mind you, if you have already had your fructose load for the day in other foods when you eat a piece of fruit, then you are going to suffer. That is, if you have fructose intolerance. The rest of you should also go easy on eating too much fruit because it’s not good for anyone to overload on fructose. It is a sugar after all.
Now I must go attend to my Facebook page and watch The Walking Dead, which is one of my favourite TV programs. I always do two things at once. Not that I am advocating that as a wise thing to do. Multitasking is overrated.

This looks like my sort of recipe. I like what you are posting ~thanks
Thanks, Anita.
Bananas and blueberries really are a great combo. This looks lovely. And I totally agree multitasking is overrated.
I multi task all day at work so I should really stop doing it at home too. We live in a crazy age where being super busy is praised as the only way to be.
I’m so glad you can eat blueberries and bananas because both are very good for you. This loaf looks very good. I too am guilty of multitasking – it just doesn’t seem there are enough hours in the day to get away with only doing one thing at a time! xx
I was very pleased to see them on the allowed list too, along with strawberries.
There aren’t enough hours in the day but that is only because we try to pack so much into each day. We do it to ourselves. I remember my grandmother on the farm was always busy but only ever with one thing at a time and she gave her all to that activity. Different times.
This is one gorgeous loaf of banana blueberry bread-I would love a slice with my morning tea 😉
Multitasking can be a bit stressful at times, but it’s a great to be good at multitasking and accomplish a lot in a short amount of time 😉
Thanks, Patty. I thought I would have a slice for breakfast this morning actually but it was all gone. Those wicked males I live with!!
Wonderful loaf, I love that it’s studded with blueberries!
A cup of blueberries might have been a wee bit much but I love them and they kept the loaf very moist.
This looks so yummy! I love bananas & blueberries together. Though I don’t have a gluten problem, someone recently mentioned chia seeds to me…Might as well give this a try when I get them.
Also, thanks for posting my tote bag designs!! That site is so fun it’s addictive.
I don’t know what you mean by tote bags. I didn’t post them.
Oh, I guess the adds pop up randomly now online for me by my recent activities. I noticed the same thing on two more sites! Looking forward to trying some recipes from your site, thank you!!!
Ah, I see, Chrystal. Yes, it seems the ads change for each person according to what your computer knows you have been looking at. Spooky eh!
What can i say, i want this with my coffee, it looks gorgeous!
I would join you for the slice of loaf but it is all gone now. I will have to make another one.
Would be good if you could put tin sizes used in your recipes
I made this and everyone in my family enjoyed it.
It is a great favourite with us too and works every time unlike some gluten-free baked recipes.
Has anyone tried substituting squash instead of the potatoe? I tried to get as much fiber in even my snacks. The quinoa banana bread recipe I make is good but doesn’t taste good after a few days and I need a change. I only use about 1/4 cup (sometimes less) of organic coconut palm sugar in my bread; I have only been low FODMAP since September. I have to really watch my sugar intake and with bananas and blueberries I am guessing that would be sweet enough for me.
Yikes, sorry, that is potato
No, I haven’t. It may be a little too watery and also it doesn’t have the starch content that potato has. It helps stick the recipe together. All gluten-free baking should be frozen because of the short shelf life.
One question: How many servings or what is the quantity in a serving?
Tasted great!
Slice it about 1/2 inch/1.5cm thick.
