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.

• We came up with a bunch of overripe banana recipes years ago because I just hate wasting food.

I have made this easy banana bread recipe when they’re still pretty yellow and it works find. The browner the better though really.

If you’re tired of “the same old thing” I suggest you try this one! You can make a bunch of varieties depending on the type of cake mix you use. The one I like the best is spice if you ask me but others have enjoyed vanilla and yellow mixes too with this.

• This easy banana bread recipe has just been added to this list as well as a bunch of others.
• It is perfect if you have a box of cake mix, but not a lot of other ingredients in your pantry.

4-Ingredient banana bread

Have you ever used cake mix to make….well, something other than a cake??!! Seriously, it is really versatile and can be used to make more than just 6 cupcakes as a treat. If you’re looking for angel food cake mix recipes we have a bunch of those too!

White or spice cake mix is a great base to make just about anything sweet like this easy banana bread.

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??!!

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 homemade yellow cake mix
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. Making easy banana bread muffins with these ingredients is possible too.

Easy breakfast recipes

• Omelette in a mug is a great protein packed meal for one, add diced ham for extra yum
• Banana pineapple bread is fun to liven things up
• Pressure cooker banana bread can be made in your Instant Pot and is moist and delicious
• Chocolate banana cookies with oats
• Tons of easy dump cake recipes use cake mix and transform into something amazing

We absolutely love our pumpkin banana bread too which is perfect in the Fall. Well, okay we make this year round and eat it for dessert too.

1. Just follow the recipe as stated below
   1. I used carrot cake mix this time which was delicious
   2. 1/2 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips were added too and got thumbs up from my kiddos and neighbors
2. I suggest using muffin liners
3. Fill muffin cups 3/4 of the way full
4. Once oven is preheated, bake them for 18 minutes
5. Remove pan and use a spoon to lift muffins out and on to a cooling rack

Do not leave them in your muffin tin or they will continue cooking and not be as moist. If you want to make a small batch you can use our temp. and timing in our air fryer banana bread recipe.
