There's nothing quite like the smell of fresh banana nut bread filling up your home. And with this recipe using cake mix as a shortcut, you can have delicious and moist banana bread in no time. Here's everything you need to know to make the best banana nut bread using cake mix.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 3 ripe bananas
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work best)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Mash up the bananas in a bowl until there are no large chunks. Some small pieces are okay.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the mashed bananas and chopped nuts to the batter and stir until everything is well-combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spoon or spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for an additional 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- To make this bread even more moist, try adding a ½ cup of sour cream to the batter.
- If you don't have any nuts, you can leave them out or substitute with chocolate chips instead for a sweeter twist.
- When measuring the bananas, you want to use 1 ½ cups of mashed bananas. This usually equates to about 3 medium-sized bananas.
- Make sure to let the bread cool before cutting into it. This helps it set and prevents it from falling apart.
With this simple recipe, making banana nut bread with cake mix has never been easier. This delicious and moist bread is perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Plus, it's a great way to use up those ripe bananas sitting on your counter. Give it a try and enjoy!
