Blueberry Banana Bread

I picked a pint of beautiful, delicious blueberries from Temecula Berry Co. last week (read about our experience at their farm HERE) and was looking for a way to use them. Well, this may be one of my favorite new recipes! So moist- a perfect combination of banana bread and blueberry muffins. Not to mention, my house smells divine!
