Blueberry Banana Nut Oatmeal Bread

---

I'm pretty sure i got this recipe from southern living, most likely back in the 1980s. there are similar ones already post but i love this one the very best. the flavors of the bananas and blueberries are balanced and the bread is not icky-sweet. i've made both a loaf as well as muffins from this recipe, which doubles easily. also freezes well...
