Equipment

  • 1 9-inch loaf pan
  • 1 Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 inch bread loaf pan and set aside.
  • Add the cake mix, eggs, mashed banana, cinnamon, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and stir into a smooth batter.
    1 (15-ounce) box yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, 4 ripe bananas, mashed, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
    3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bread loaf pan then bake for 50 minutes. The center of the banana bread should spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center of the banana bread should come out cleanly, with no sticky batter.
  • Let the banana bread cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Then, flip the bread out of the pan to slice and enjoy while warm.

Notes

  • Mash the bananas in a small bowl with a fork. You can also use a food processor to blend them into a smooth puree. 
  • Be sure to use very ripe bananas; the more brown on the banana peel, the better!
