We had a blueberry bush on our property in Kenmore and while we lived there I decided to combine some of the fresh berries with banana to make this loaf.

2. In medium bowl, sift together the flour baking powder and salt, set aside.
3. Using a blender chop the walnuts and add them to the flour mixture.
4. Put the sugar, butter, egg, bananas and milk in the same blender container that you chopped the walnuts in.
5. Blend on medium for 15 seconds or so stopping the motor to push the bananas down if needed.
