Blueberry Banana Bread or Muffins

Lizzymommy's Note:

If you've never tried blueberries and bananas together, you're in for a treat! This is a delicious bread, and simply fabulous as muffins. Remember to use very ripe bananas for the best flavor - I wait until they're completely brown, and then peel and put in the freezer so that I can make banana bread whenever the mood hits me!

I've made this a couple of times and my family loves it! This recipe makes moist, delicious muffins and blueberries and bananas are a natural together. I did add in a handful of wheat germ just to bump up the nutrition a bit.
