Description
Craving something sweet and comforting but don’t want to spend hours baking? This Banana Bread with Cake Mix is the answer! It’s quick, simple, and oh-so-delicious. Plus, it’s made with just a handful of ingredients! 🙌
Ingredients
- 1 box of cake mix (yellow, white, or spice works best)
- 3 ripe bananas (the riper, the better!)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth with a few chunks for texture.
3️⃣ Mix everything together in a large bowl – cake mix, mashed bananas, eggs, and oil. Stir until combined, but don’t overmix. Add your optional goodies (nuts, chocolate chips, vanilla) and fold them in.
4️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
5️⃣ Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing
Notes
- Use overripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Avoid overmixing: Overworking the batter can lead to a dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Customize with flavors: Experiment with different cake mix flavors or add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a unique twist.
