Banana-Blueberry Bread with Surprise

Okay, this recipe came out of my ideology "waste not, want not".  I had blueberries and bananas that needed to be used soon.  I wasn't even sure if the "black" bananas were unusable until I peeled them.  But they were perfect for banana bread and that's just what I did.  I made banana bread with blueberries.  Of course I couldn't just leave it at that.  I had to add something to make it more special.  How about a cream cheese little surprise.  This recipe is pretty healthy (diabetic friendly) and simply delicious. So next time you see some sad looking bananas that look like they may need to hit the trash.... take a peel and see what you can come up with... this banana-blueberry bread may be in your future too.



Wet Ingredients:
2-3 bananas mashed
1 cup sugar (or splenda)
2 tsp of vanilla
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
½ cup of applesauce
1½  cups fresh blueberries



 Dry Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of baking soda
½ tsp of salt





Surprise cream cheese filling:
6oz of softened cream cheese
1 egg


Mix the two ingredients together until creamy.








Directions:  Separately mix the wet and dry ingredients.  Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and do not over mix the batter.  Fold in the blueberries.  Spray or butter a loaf pan.  Flour the bottom of the pan with some flour.  Pour half the batter into the pan.  Next spread the cream cheese filling in the middle.  Top off with the remainder of the batter.  Bake in a 350 oven for 45-55 minutes or until bread is done.   Allow to cool and slice.  Enjoy.
