This quick and easy banana bread is made using cake mix for an incredibly moist and delicious result. Perfect for using up overripe bananas, this recipe is a breeze and yields a delightful bread that your family will love!

Ingredients

1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (yellow or white)

3 ripe bananas

3 eggs

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Mix everything together until just combined—do not overmix!

Step 4

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
