Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (or white, spice, or chocolate cake mix)
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional, for extra sweetness
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) optional, for added crunch
  • 1 tsp cinnamon optional, for extra flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Loaf Pan (9x5-inch)
  • Whisk or Spatula
  • Oven
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the cake mix, eggs, and oil (or melted butter). Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in any optional add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or cinnamon.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra moisture, add ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter. Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
