Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 1 box Boxed yellow cake mix
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the boxed yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined. The batter should be thick and smooth.
If desired, mix in the ground cinnamon for a hint of spice, and fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around 45 minutes.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
