Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mash 3 medium ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until just combined.
  2. Step 2: Pour the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Step 3: Slice the banana oat bread into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Spread each slice with 1 tbsp softened unsalted butter evenly over the surface.
  4. Step 4: Generously sprinkle 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles over the buttered slices, pressing lightly so the sprinkles stick.
  5. Step 5: Arrange the fairy bread slices on a platter and serve immediately as a fun, colorful snack or party treat.
