Tips for making banana bread with Fruity Pebbles
When making this easy banana bread recipe you could (if desired) add up to 1 additional cup of Fruity Pebbles into the banana bread. adding in one cup more would change the flavor for a stronger Fruity Pebbles taste and add even more color to every slice.
You can choose to do this or not, personally, I feel that 1 cup is perfect but with this recipe being pretty versatile there’s no reason not to try it in different ways and see what tastes best to your own tastebuds.
FAQ’s about cereal banana bread
If you keep the 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.
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.
How to make Fruity Pebbles banana bread
