Equipment

  • 2 8x4-Inch loaf pans

Ingredients

  • 1 box 15.25 ounces Spice Cake Mix or Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 ½ cups mashed bananas (3 large)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF (350ºF for dark coated pans) and grease two 8x4" loaf pans. (See note)
  • Combine the cake mix, oil, eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
  • Bake at 375ºF for 25-30 minutes until the banana bread has risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the bread pans from the oven and let cool 15 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack. Once the banana bread is cool enough to handle, slice and serve.

Notes

  • If you don’t have two loaf pans, divide batter between one 8x4-inch pan and 7 muffin cups. Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes.
  • You can bake the bread in one 9” loaf pan, baking will take 45-55 minutes, and the center won't rise as high.
