Buying organic blueberries from my local farmers market has been a part of my weekly summer ritual for years. Nothing beats the taste of fresh seasonal blueberries! Let alone eating them by the handful, blueberries can be added to so many things: Smoothies, pancakes, yogurt, cereal, and much more. But how about bread? Most people who think of different types of homemade bread may first picture a banana- or zucchini-based creation. But this particular collagen recipe is packed full of delicious ingredients, hitting notes of both sweet and tart at the same time, making it the perfect summer treat for breakfast or any time of the day.
