Ingredients

  • 1 box 13.25 oz of spice cake mix *see notes*
  • 1 cup mashed banana
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Combine the mashed bananas, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl or large measuring cup and whisk until smooth. 
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the cake mix and stir until well mixed.
  • Divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling the muffin liners about ¾ of the way full.
  • Bake the muffins at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes until risen in the center, browned, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • If you can only find 15 oz boxes of cake mix, swap the water called for in the instructions for mashed banana, use 3 eggs, and use the amount of oil called for on the box.
  • Yellow cake mix with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice can be used in the place of spice cake mix.
  • You’ll need 2-3 bananas to get one cup of mashed for this recipe. If you come up add in water, milk, or applesauce.
