Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs

  • 3. Add the eggs and cake mix, and stir until fully combined — do not overmix.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the sweetest flavor.
  • For extra texture, stir in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  • This recipe also works great as muffins, bake for 18–20 minutes instead.
