4 Ingredient Banana Bread

This 4 ingredient banana bread using cake mix is a great breakfast, dessert or snack! A quick banana bread recipe using overripe bananas we love.

I love easy cake mix recipes! What is in that box is just begging to be amped up in one way or another and this 4 ingredient banana bread is a great example of just what you can do with spice cake mix! You can use any variety you like, but this is a great combination! Perfect for breakfast or to include in your brunch menu, you can throw this together in no time at all.

We came up with a bunch of overripe banana recipes years ago because I just hate wasting food, this 4 ingredient banana bread has just been added to this list as well as a bunch of others.

Have you ever used cake mix to make….well, something other than a cake??!!

It’s a great base to make just about anything sweet really.

The cake mix recipes we’ve made so far are:

• Cake mix donuts
• How to make brownies out of cake mix
• Peanut butter cookie brownies using cake mix

Now we’re here to make some banana bread with cake mix!

I will say that if you do have the time, homemade banana bread is worth the time. I don’t make a lot of things homemade from start to finish and usually opt for semi-homemade but banana bread is something I do think tastes better from scratch.

• BUT…if you are in a bind or are missing a few ingredients this semi homemade banana bread with cake mix is a good second for sure!!

It does look pretty close to from scratch though, don’t you think??!!

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy 4 ingredient banana bread with cake mix.

1. Overripe bananas – 5 med. sized is good, could add 6
2. Box of cake mix – Spice cake mix is by far the best one to use, could use white or yellow in a bind
3. Oil
4. Eggs
   1. Could add a bit of banana extract if you want a more intense banana flavor

You could add a bit of mini chocolate chips too if you wish, and/or some chopped nuts but I like it as is.
