We’ve shared many huckleberry recipes on this site, but that does not stop us from looking for more and unique recipes.
Have you ever thought about making Huckleberry Banana Bread? Well, here is the recipe from Kallie Schaefer :
Ingredients
Huckleberry Swirl:
- 1 pint huckleberries
- 1/2 tablepoon agave or honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (or you can substitute a little corn starch. The goal is to thicken.)
Banana Bread:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (coconut oil, if vegan)
- 1/2 cup minus 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 eggs (chia seed or flax substitute, if vegan)
- 4 very brown bananas
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (cow, almond, soy, rice milk, etc…)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 210 grams (1.75 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Huckleberry Swirl
- Stir the huckleberries, agave and lemon juice in a bowl and allow to sit for an hour minimum
- Purée the huckleberry mixture in a blender or food processor
- Combine the huckleberry mixture, molasses and vanilla in a small pot and bring to a simmer
- Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Remove from heat
- Stir in chia seeds and allow to cool
Banana Bread
- Beat the butter and sugar together until thoroughly combined
- Beat in the eggs one at a time
- Add the bananas, milk and vanilla
- Continue beating until the mixture is combined — it’s ok to have small chunks of banana
- Stir in the last 4 ingredients until just combined
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Grease a bread pan with butter or coconut oil
- Pour in just enough banana bread batter to cover the bottom
- Spread a large spoonful of huckleberry mixture across the middle, lengthwise
- Add more banana bread batter
- Add more huckleberries
- Add the rest of the banana bread batter
- Using a butter knife, run it through the pan just a couple times. We don’t want it to be completely combined, we just want a good swirl
- Bake for 50-55 minutes
- Allow to cool for 20 minutes, remove from pan and eat.

Too gooey needed to use less huckleberryies
No! Not less huckleberries!!
Maybe less liquid or more flour?
Best recipe EVER!! We pick huckleberries every year at Priest Lake, Idaho and squirrel them away for the winter. Using only 2 cups to make this scrumptious recipe is perfect. All our family and friends are literally raving about this recipe.
