Unicorn Bread
You can think of unicorn bread as banana breads wild younger cousin.
It is fun, colorful, and the kids will love it.
But don’t get me wrong, the adults will go crazy for it as well. I mean who can resist banana bread covered in icing?
Gel food coloring is used to die the batter different colors, which are then alternated in the pan. Adding in lots of sprinkles of course.
Once baked, the bread is then covered in sweet icing and then doused in rainbow sprinkles.
The result is a super colorful breakfast bread.
It kinda has a cool tie-dye vibe as well.
And I can assure you, it is as delicious as it is beautiful!

A 9×9 pan? Or a loaf pan?
I would suggest a 9×5 loaf pan, although a 9″ square cake pan would also likely work 🙂
Self rising flour!
Do I need to let it cool before doing the icing or do it when hot?
Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes, then turn it over onto a wire rack and spoon/pour the frosting on top.
