Easy Banana Bread with Cake Mix

This cake mix banana bread recipe will be the easiest banana bread you’ll ever make. With just 3 main ingredients, you’ll probably already have everything on hand in your kitchen (except maybe the cake mix), and it should only take a couple of minutes to prepare your loaf for the oven.

On top of that, this banana bread with yellow cake mix tastes great! It may seem a bit weird at first to use cake mix to make banana bread, but it turns out really nice and moist and it’s super tasty. It’s definitely one you’ll want to make again.

If you want, you can substitute for 3 cups of shredded zucchini to make zucchini bread.

How to Make Your Cake Mix Banana Bread

First, you’ll want to mash up your bananas real nicely. You can either do this by hand, or you can use a mixer (I used my KitchenAid). The mixer is definitely the easier route but doing it by hand is pretty easy as well.

After that, add your yellow cake mix and the other ingredients to your mashed banana mixture and mix it all up nicely. Once you do that your super simple cake mix banana bread batter is done. How easy was that?!

Getting Ready to Bake the Banana Bread

Now you’ll have to decide whether you want one large banana loaf or two mini ones. I like to make a couple of mini ones so I can save one in the fridge for later.

Once you’ve decided, spray your large loaf pan or mini loaf pans with a non-stick cooking spray (you could also use butter). I also like to sprinkle some flour in there as well. After you’ve done that just pour your batter in and pop it in the oven!

This really is the easiest banana bread recipe ever. You can also customize it however you’d like! You can add chocolate chips, nuts, or you could even drizzle some Nutella on top (I like to spread peanut butter on my banana bread). My mouth is watering now!
