Calories: 112kcal
Cost: Recipe $2.05 / Serving $0.10
Equipment
- Whisk or electric mixer
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix ($1.00)
- 1 ½ cup mashed ripe bananas, about 2 to 3 bananas ($0.75)
- 2 large eggs ($0.30)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8 by 4 inch loaf pans.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, mashed bananas, and eggs until smooth.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Pan Sizes: Use two 8×4-inch loaf pans or one 9×5-inch loaf pan. A 9×5 pan will need about 50 minutes of bake time; check for doneness near the end.
- Flavor Add-Ins: Enhance the batter with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins.
- Cake Mix Options: Any boxed cake mix works, yellow, chocolate, red velvet, or spice. Using a dairy-free cake mix makes this recipe dairy-free.
- Muffin Option: Bake standard muffins for 15–18 minutes or mini muffins for 12 minutes.
- Storage & Freezing: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Wrap tightly and freeze loaves for up to 3 months.
