Why You Will Like Banana Bread
I just love really easy recipes that require a box of cake mix like banana bread or Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies (Cake Mix) or 5 Easy Recipes with Cake Mix and canned pumpkin. You can turn a box of cake mix into anything.
Banana bread can be made all year long if you have very ripe bananas sitting on your counter ready to use.
In addition to its enticing smell, banana bread offers a wonderfully moist and tender texture that melts in your mouth with each bite. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast option, a snack with a cup of coffee, or a dessert after dinner, banana bread is versatile and always a crowd-pleaser.
Furthermore, banana bread is a great way to use up overripe bananas that might otherwise go to waste. It's a simple and forgiving recipe that can be easily customized with add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to suit your taste preferences. Whether you bake it yourself or enjoy it from a bakery or cafe, banana bread is a beloved classic that is sure to win your heart with its delicious taste and easy charm.
Ingredients Needed
- Yellow Cake Mix - is a pre-mixed combination of ingredients that simplifies the process of baking a cake. It usually contains flour, sugar, baking powder, and flavorings such as vanilla or chocolate.
- Large eggs - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Very ripe mashed bananas
- Water(optional just in case) - to use if the cake mix is too thick.
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
Here's how to make it:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, mashed bananas, and eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts.
Step 3: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes.
Step 4: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your delicious banana bread made with cake mix!
Recipe Tip: Banana bread is usually done when you can insert a tooth pick into the middle of the bread and it comes out clean.
This recipe is a quick and easy way to enjoy homemade banana bread with the convenience of using cake mix. Feel free to customize it by adding chocolate chips, dried fruit, or your favorite spices to make it your own!
What to serve with Banana Bread
Butter or Nutella: One classic option is to serve banana bread with a dollop of creamy butter, which adds richness and a touch of saltiness that complements the sweetness of the bread. You can also try spreading some Nutella or peanut butter on a slice for a decadent twist.
Fresh Fruit: For a refreshing contrast, consider serving banana bread with a side of fresh fruit such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. The juicy sweetness of the fruit can balance out the dense texture of the bread and add a pop of color to your plate.
Ice Cream: If you're feeling indulgent, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce can turn a simple slice of banana bread into a delightful dessert. Try this easy recipe for Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
