Usually, banana bread is banana bread is banana bread. But, being as I intend to make food a whole hell of a lot more fun and exciting this year, I decided to do what any mother does best. Add rainbows to the mix! This colorful twist on banana bread has lovingly been dubbed as Unicorn Banana Bread and it’s pretty easy to see why.

If you love banana bread, you’ll also love this Unicorn Banana Bread. Other than a few healthy swaps and the sprinkles added into the mix, this is a pretty standard banana bread. Lots of bananas, lots of whole wheat, and lots of color.

This bread is pretty easy to make with the usual mixture of wet ingredients separate from dry ingredients and then merge the two together with a quick fold in of the sprinkles at the end. The toughest part about this bread is being careful not to over mix the batter. Especially after adding the sprinkles in.

I used a whole huge mix of a bunch of sprinkles that I had on had. Some were naturally colored, some were not. Some were shimmery, some were not. Some were jimmies and others were confetti shaped. In the end I got a pretty fun loaf of banana bread.

One of my favorite things about this breakfast bread is that once you make a loaf of it, you pretty much have breakfast ready for the week! I like to serve mine with some fresh fruit on the side and call it done.

Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days and reheat quick in the microwave in the morning or keep it covered and slowly bring it back up to room temperature.
