    This moist banana bread, bursting with tropical flavor, requires no additional effort to achieve. Topped with a glaze and colorful cereal pieces, it offers a delightful twist.

    While we often use cereal in recipes like cookies and milkshakes (see our Lucky Charms Cookies and Fruity Pebbles Milkshake), this recipe offers even more tasty reasons to try it.

    Every bite is packed with fun flavors, colors, and sweetness. If you love bananas and cereal, this fruity pebbles recipe is perfect for you.

    Even better, you can use up leftover cereal no one wants to touch. Once baked, the cereal gets a brand new take on life, transforming into a fruity glazed banana bread.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Enhance Your Banana Bread- For an extra burst of flavor and color, consider adding up to 1 additional cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal into the banana bread batter. This addition intensifies the Fruity Pebbles taste and adds vibrancy to each slice.
    2. Experiment as You Please- While 1 cup of cereal is recommended, feel free to adjust based on your preferences. This recipe is versatile, allowing you to tailor it to your taste buds. Whether you opt for the original amount or add more, you'll enjoy the delightful combination of banana bread with Fruity Pebbles.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    How long is Fruity banana bread good for?

    If you keep the cereal banana bread well covered or in an airtight container at room temperature, you can expect it to last about 3-5 days and still taste great. Do note that the cereal on top may become a bit stale as the bread ages.

    Can I freeze Fruity Pebbles bread?

    Yes, you can freeze this bread but if you do it then I recommend not adding the glaze and Fruity Pebbles on top until after the bread has thawed. This will keep it tasting great without any glaze-thawing issues.

    Can I use frozen bananas for banana bread?

    Yes, you can. Thaw frozen bananas, drain excess liquid, and use them in your banana bread recipe.
