Although I have a wonderful recipe from my church friend Miriam Smith, I wanted to find a super easy one since we seem to let our banana's go bad all the time and I don't want to waste them. And I'm all about quick and easy recipes. So I came across this recipe that uses a box cake mix. My daughter wanted chocolate chips in it but I didn't have any so I compromised and used chocolate cake mix. Needless to say, it wasn't the same, it was ok but the one with the yellow cake mix was the best between the two. The chocolate one on the right in the picture is the one I poked with the knife to see if they were ready so that's why it looks like it fell.
Ingredients
2-3 bananas (I used 2 but 3 would probably taste better)
1 box cake mix (I made 2 batches and used yellow and chocolate but heard Butter Pecan is really good)
1 stick of butter
2 large eggs
cinnamon sugar - optional (I sprinkled this on the top of the yellow, just to see what would happen)
Directions
1. Heat oven to 350.
2. Mash bananas in the bottom of a bowl while melting butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. 3. Pour melted butter in with the bananas and stir.
4. Dump the cake mix on top of banana mixture to cover it. Make a little hole in the cake mix and crack the 2 eggs into the hole. If the butter is very hot, you don't want the eggs to scramble so maybe let it cool off a little.
5. Then mix the eggs and cake mix into the bananas and butter. I just used a spoon and didn't over mix it.
6. Pour into a sprayed/buttered loaf pan.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Stick a knife in the middle at 30 minutes. If it comes out clean it's done. If it has batter on it, cook for another few minutes.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the bread from the pan until it's cooled off or it WILL crumble!!!
UPDATE: I had a piece of the chocolate bread right out of the fridge with butter on it and it was WAY better cold the next day so take that for what its worth. =0)
