How to make banana bread with yellow cake mix
Add your cake mix, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, mashed overripe bananas, and olive oil to a large bowl.
Grab your mixers and beat until well combined.
This is a great recipe for kids to help make!
My two year old helped whip this up with me and had a blast.
Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour the batter in, smoothing out the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 – 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Be sure to allow loaf to cool completely before cutting for easiest results!
What cake mix should I use?
Just a box of your favorite cake mix will work!
Make sure it is close to 15 oz and not much larger.
Can I use other flavors of cake mix?
Yes you can!
Maybe you’re in the mood for a chocolate banana bread or a cinnamon spiced banana bread!
Can I add chocolate chips?
Yes, this recipe is very customizable!
Add in some chocolate chips, nuts, or your favorite mix in to make it your own!
Do I have to add vanilla and cinnamon?
Nope, I just love adding that classic cinnamon hint for my banana bread, but it would be delicious without it too!
The result is super fluffy, sweet, perfect banana bread.
Adding bananas to cake mix can be a great way to use up ingredients you already have on hand and make a delicious treat!
Mash those overripe bananas up, add in your cake mix, eggs, oil, and spice and you are ready to go.
Simple, foolproof, and a family favorite.

I have tried your Cake mix cookie bars and they were wonderful! What I’m wanting to do now is cross your cake mix banana bread recipe with that one, so that essentially I would end up with Banana bread [chocolate chip] cookie bars. Would that work? And if so, what size pan would I use, as the cookie bars were made in a 9×13 dish.
Thank you!
Joy Shull says
That sounds like a great idea! I’m not sure what size dish would matter, just in that the bars would be thinner in a larger baking dish, and thicker in a smaller one, which would affect cooking time. Let me know if you try it, sounds delicious!

Why do you prefer olive oil? Does it change the taste?
Joy Shull says
I just use it since it is what I have on hand and use in most every recipe. I don’t buy or use vegetable oil. You won’t notice any taste difference!
