For the Wet Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- Gel food coloring (pink, purple, neon green) as needed
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
For the Icing and Topping:
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar and butter together until light and creamy.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they’re fully incorporated.
- Stir in the mashed bananas until the batter is smooth.
3. Combine and Color:
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Divide the batter evenly into three bowls.
- Add pink, purple, and neon green gel food coloring to each portion, stirring until the colors are vibrant.
4. Layer the Batter:
- Scoop dollops of each colored batter into the prepared loaf pan, alternating colors for a swirled effect.
- Sprinkle a layer of rainbow sprinkles between each batter layer for added fun.
5. Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the Icing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar for a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner drizzle.
7. Decorate and Serve:
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled bread, letting it cascade down the sides.
- Top with additional rainbow sprinkles for a magical finish.
- Slice and serve your colorful creation.
