Blueberry Nut Bread

This beautiful blueberry nut bread is the perfect spring breakfast or snack.

I used to make banana bread all the time years ago and fell out of that habit. I saved lots of fruit bread recipes back then because I adore banana bread so much and felt that other fruits had to be pretty dang good too. I was really excited about this blueberry nut bread and a little intrigued by the maple syrup aspect of it. It wasn't strongly maple flavored, which I did like, but it did have a hint of maple enough to remind me of blueberry pancakes and that made me so happy.

Speaking of banana bread, this Blueberry Banana Bread is the best of both worlds! I have to admit that I love streusel topping on pretty much any sweets and I cannot wait to try this Blueberry Cobbler Bread from Cookies & Cups because look at that topping!
