How to make banana bread with yellow cake mix
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Step 1: Add your yellow cake mix, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, mashed overripe bananas, and oil to a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
Step 2: Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour the banana bread batter in, smoothing out the top.
Step 3: Bake the bread at 350 degrees for 50 – 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Be sure to allow loaf to cool completely before cutting it. This might be the hardest part, because the scent of fresh baked banana bread is irresistible!
What cake mix to use for banana bread
You will need one box of your favorite yellow cake mix! 15 oz is the size that you need.
Can I use other flavors of cake mix?
Yes you can! Maybe you're in the mood for a chocolate banana bread or a cinnamon spiced banana bread!
Try changing up this recipe up by using chocolate cake mix, butter pecan cake mix, white cake mix, or spice cake mix.
Can I add chocolate chips?
Yes, this recipe is very customizable!
This would also be delicious as chocolate chip banana bread.
Just mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
More mix ins to try
- peanut butter chips
- butterscotch chips
- walnuts or pecans
- white chocolate chips
Do I have to add vanilla and cinnamon?
No you do not, I just love adding that classic cinnamon hint for my banana bread, but it would be delicious without it too!
Can I make these into cake mix banana bread muffins?
Yes, just divide the batter into muffin tins instead.
Still bake the muffins at 350 degrees, but keep a close eye on them as they will cook much faster than banana bread.
I would think around 15-22 minutes should do it.
Just bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
