Banana Blueberry Mini Bundt Cakes

Everyone loves a good banana bread, right? Especially when it’s moist. Well, these Banana Blueberry Mini Bundt Cakes are not your everyday looking banana bread recipe but they are for sure a show stopper 🙂 My new favorite dessert when it comes to recipes for mini bundt cakes. How about a fancy looking banana bread with some fresh blueberries?

Just the perfect addition to a freshly brewed cup of coffee in the morning.

In this household the scenario is almost like this: I buy a {bigger than needed} bunch of bananas and we don’t finish them…I like them slightly on the green side and of course after 2-3 days they will be way too ripe for my liking.

Apparently the degree of ripeness affects how many calories you may get from bananas, according to an article I was reading a couple of days ago. The less ripe a banana is, the more resistant starch contains and gets absorbed slower by your body. So good news, if you like your bananas greener…you’ll absorb fewer calories.

What to make with Overripe Bananas?

A different take on banana bread recipe! Banana Blueberry Mini Bundt Cakes.

Talking about calories :)…..I cannot toss in the bin those 2-3 over ripped left bananas, so it’s a good excuse for a yummy moist, freshly baked banana bread. But, I wanted something different this time. I was looking to create a fancy dessert as I had some friends coming for afternoon tea. Something that cannot be resisted.

I remembered that I had some frozen blueberries too and my next thought was ….Banana Blueberry Mini Bundt Cakes. Perfect for my mini bundt pans I bought recently, as I was dying to use them. Top the mini cakes with some fresh blueberry puree and whipped cream and here you have the perfect dessert!

You can use for this recipe fresh or frozen blueberries. Or any kind of berries you have: raspberries, blackberries, any of them.

Hope you’ll enjoy them!
