Today I decided to make yet another twist on a classic recipe of Banana Bread by making them into Banana Bread & Berry Kebabs with a chocolate drizzle and icing sugar sprinkled on top. To make these I simply followed the recipe for the banana bread recipe down below with the only modifications being I used 3/4 cup of sugar and 3 ripe bananas, as well as pouring the batter into a square pan for 45 minutes at 350F. I also greased the pan beforehand with margarine, but you could also use butter, cooking oil/spray, etc. After taking the bread out of the oven and waiting for it to cool at least 20 minutes I then cut it into squares 4x4.
From there I used wooden skewers to put a piece of banana bread through the middle and then alternated with either a small strawberry that I cut the stem off of or 3 blueberries. I did this pattern with three banana bread pieces in total, 2 strawberries, and 3 blueberries. However you could also try a different pattern with multiple different fruits. I then melted milk chocolate using the Chipits brand by placing a small bowl into a medium sized bowl filled with hot water and then placing the chocolate chips inside of the small bowl to melt and mix around until it melted with a spoon.
From there, I drizzled the chocolate with a fork diagonally across the banana bread and berry kebabs and then sprinkled some icing sugar using a sifter on top. Voila! Your very own banana bread and berry kebab! A combination that you never knew that you needed! I'm so excited to share this with you all, as I got this idea while flipping through a cookbook at home where they did this with brownies and strawberries and another where they did this with shortcake and strawberries! I hope that you enjoyed this review and enjoy your banana bread and fruit kebabs! Happy baking! Also thank you to my cousin Kristen for the slate board seen in the photo below as a Christmas present, I appreciate your support!
