Easiest banana bread ever


I made this last night. Prep time about 10 minutes. Cook time about 30 minutes.

1 box cake mix (I used white but I think you can get creative! Chocolate banana bread...yummy!)
3 eggs
1/3 c oil
4+ mashed bananas ( I used about 8 but we had lots that were going bad fast!)
Your choice of chopped nuts-optional (I used about 1/2 c of chopped pecans)

Preheat oven to 350. Generously grease and flour 2 9x5 loaf pans. In large bowl beat all ingredients together until well mixed. Pour batter into loaf pans. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Other options: You can add chocolate chips, maraschino cherries or whatever your favorite ingredient is to give this recipe a little kick! Also, changing up the flavor of cake mix will make a big difference. (Butter pecan cake mix and butterscotch chips! The possibilities are endless and still this recipe is super easy!

  1. Humm, I had never thought about using a cake mix. My kids are gonna love me when I make this... I usually use whole wheat flour and half the sugar when making banana bread. I think I will try using butter pecan cake mix when I make it..good idea!
