- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Combine the olive oil, melted butter, cinnamon and pepper, stirring until well mixed. Drizzle the mixture over the sweet potato bites. Sprinkle with sea salt. Loosely tent the toothpicks with damp paper towels and wrap the baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil, being careful not to pierce the foil. Bake until the potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes.

I made this strawberry banana bread when I had some overly ripe bananas and some fresh strawberries that were also on the ripe side. I decided to add the strawberries to my banana-nut bread batter for the perfect flavor combination!
