Instructions

Preheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x4 loaf pan. Set aside.
Mash bananas. Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash until mostly smooth.
Add wet ingredients. Stir in the vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add leavening. Mix in the baking soda and salt.
Add dry ingredients. Stir in the flour just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in cereal. Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal until evenly distributed.
Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make glaze. Whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf, sprinkle with additional Fruity Pebbles if using, and let set for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Extra cereal. Add up to 1 additional cup of Fruity Pebbles for stronger color and flavor.
Storage. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. The cereal topping may soften over time.
Freezing. For best results, freeze without glaze or topping. Add glaze and cereal after thawing.
