About this Bread

Did someone say pancakes? And banana bread? For breakfast??

I sure did. I've seen other bloggers manipulate boxed cake, waffle, and pancake mixes before, and I've always wanted to try it myself. When Birch Benders released their new Organic Confetti Pancake Mix filled with rainbow sprinkles, I knew I needed to create something incredibly delicious with it.

So, I'd like to introduce to you to this dense, moist, and wonderfully sweet and colorful Birthday Bread. It's filled with fun rainbow sprinkles and topped with a sugary glaze, it's perfect to enjoy as birthday (or everyday) sweet breakfast, snack, or after dinner dessert.

I love dunking a slice in a cold glass of almond milk, warmed up and doused in fresh maple syrup and powdered sugar, or toasted with butter! If you've got a celebration coming up, make this Birthday Bread!

Or if you're looking for other quick breads, try this Easy Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, Healthier Pumpkin Banana Bread, Moist Blueberry Banana Bread, or Greek Yogurt Lemon Bread that I'm sure you'll love, too!

Recipe Ingredients

• Banana: You want in ripe and spotty to add sweetness! It also gives this birthday bread a little bit of banana bread flavors!
• Organic Funfetti Pancake Mix: Birch Benders is one of my favorite brands when it comes to baking mixes. They have SO many varieties of mixes that are so fun to try.
• Rainbow Sprinkles: Yes, there are sprinkles in the pancake mix but there's always room for more! I suggest Cylinder sprinkles that won't spread much or lose their color.
• Almond Extract: Brings a sweet, fruity flavor to the bread, more distinct than vanilla.
• Powdered Sugar: A baking staple to whip up a quick, delicious frosting and top your dessert with a little extra sweetness!
