Blackberry Bread

Well hey there! It's been awhile, and I'm sorry. I know in my last post I made excuses as to why I haven't been blogging - work, life, blah blah.. Well, I'm not here to make excuses, just to make delicious bread.


I was perusing through the store the other day and I stumbled upon some blackberries, on sale none-the-less! It brought me back to my childhood, picking the wild blackberries that grew around my yard and eating them with milk (don't question it, it's good!). So obviously I had to buy some!

But... what do I make with these? I could eat them by themselves... or put them in a smoothie! But, I wanted to share the blackberry goodness that I love so much. So, I put it in a bread. Using a banana bread base, I added blackberries to the mix (and of course, vegan chocolate chips!) and away I went!

Ingredients
2 cups of flour (I used wheat)
1/3 cup sugar (or honey/agave syrup)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup canola oil
3 bananas
3/4 cup (one small package) blackberries, mashed
1 tbsp applesauce
1/4 cup milk (I used almond milk)
Vegan chocolate chips (use however many you'd like!)

Directions
It's pretty much the same as any other bread. Mix all the wet ingredients in one bowl, mix all the dry ingredients in another bowl, and then mix the two mixtures together.

Add the chocolate chips last. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour.

The batter, and therefore the bread, will be blue/green. That's because of the mashed blackberries! But believe me, it's so delicious.
