Banana Blueberry Mini Loaves with a new twist!

During this time of "Stay at Home" orders, I've been baking more, and have been discovering some old favorites!  

I clipped this recipe off of a bag of Pillsbury flour years ago!!  

I made it back then but I thought I would tweak it a bit seeing as I am trying to cut back on sugar, and I also love using coconut oil in my cooking and baking.  

I am posting the original recipe first, and scroll down how I have changed it up a bit...with great results, I must say!

  

Banana Blueberry Mini Loaves (original recipe)

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
1 c. (2 med.) mashed ripe bananas

1 tsp. baking soda
