  1. In large bowl, mix all ingredients except blueberries for about 30 seconds.
  2. Fold in frozen berries.
  3. Pour into 2 greased 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 loaf pans that have been greased on the bottoms only.
  4. Bake in 350º oven for 55-60 minutes, til toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Notes: 
  • I used a combination of frozen blueberries, raspberries and blackberries - delicious! 
  • Agave Syrup is a natural sweetener, much better for you than sugar.
  • I cut my loaves into slices and froze them individually so I can easily grab one for my mid-morning snack.
