3 Ingredient Banana Bread (With Cake Mix)
This insanely tender and moist 3 ingredient banana bread is the easiest way to make banana bread and is versatile.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Bananas mashed, ripe bananas
- 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
- 2 Eggs large
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the ripe bananas and mash them into a pudding-like consistency with a fork or a potato masher.
- Add the eggs to the mashed bananas mixture and mix it with a whisk until well combined.
- Add the cake mix and mix until there are no lumps of cake mix in the batter and it looks smooth. If you want to add add ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit, this is the time!
- Pour the batter into a parchment paper-lined loaf pan.
- Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 45-55 minutes (depending on the oven) or until a toothpick inserted into the banana bread comes out clean.
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature eggs. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly.
- For more delicious flavor, add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or cardamon. Also, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or almond extract.
- For extra crunch, add chopped nuts of your choice on top of the bread like chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist banana bread and not dense and dry banana bread.
- Use only ripe bananas for this recipe! ripe bananas are sweet, moist, and easy to mash into a pudding consistency.
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat this banana bread as it is pulled out of the oven, but let the loaf cool for at least 20 minutes so it will be firmer and won’t crumble up.
