Cinnamon Sugar & Blueberry Banana Bread

Recipe

Tessa is my little baker.  She often asks me if we can make treats or if she can help me cook.  Yesterday afternoon was the perfect opportunity for some mommy and daughter baking.  The weather was gorgeous.  I had all the windows open for fresh air, football was on t.v., and baby brother was down for a nap.  I had Tess scroll through some recipes and pick the one she wanted to do.  She chose cinnamon sugar and blueberry banana bread.  It seemed like a lot of flavor jammed into one recipe but I was willing to give it a try.  Luckily I had all the ingredients too!

Grandma got this apron for her last Fall.  She loved that it said Boo as she was the one who first started calling Tess that when she was a baby.  Plus, I love that she enjoys wearing it!  Not only does it protect her clothes from a mess, but they are just so adorable on little kids.

 

Family and friends beware as there was a lot of "love" put into making this bread. 

Peeling bananas is always tricky for her.  She hates the "yucky" they leave on her hands.

 

Twirling in the blueberries because mommy wasn't properly folding them in as the recipe mentioned.

So proud of her bread that she nearly dropped on the ground...always an adventure with little Miss.

Here is our final product.  If I’m being completely honest, I think I would give this recipe a B-.  It is quite tasty but each time I take a bite my taste buds are confused.  Am I having banana bread?  Is this a blueberry muffin?  If I had to do it all over again, I would make it as banana bread with the cinnamon sugar layer on top.  But, if you're feeling all sorts of crazy and adventurous, give it a whirl!
