Unicorn Bread Sprinkles

Magic Swirl Banana Bread turns your everyday banana loaf into something fun and colorful. This sweet treat starts with a basic banana bread mix using overripe bananas, softened butter, and everyday ingredients. The batter gets split up and colored with bright pink, purple, and electric green food coloring. When you layer these colors with a bunch of sprinkles mixed in, you end up with a stunning rainbow effect after baking. It's the perfect eye-catching dessert for birthday parties, kids' events, or just to brighten someone's day.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Keep your bread in a sealed container on the counter for 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
• Pop slices in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating for that fresh-baked feel.

Helpful Notes

• Stick with gel colors since they won't water down your batter like liquid ones.
• Crush those bananas really well to avoid lumps in the finished bread.
