Blueberry and Lavender Banana Bread

A great way to use blueberries and lavender. Both just finishing up their season.


1 stick butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon dried lavender buds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ripe bananas
1 1/4 cups blueberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts



Cream butter and sugar, add eggs and beat until fluffy. Mash and mix in bananas along with vanilla. A food processor helps speed this up. Sift dry ingredients. Add ground lavender buds. If you have a spice grinder you can use that. Ours was broken, so I added them whole.  Mix dry ingredients into banana mixture. Fold in nuts and blueberries. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour. Cool for ten minutes then remove from pan.
