Kelly Senyei—founder of the Just a Taste blog and author of The Secret Ingredient Cookbook—transforms box cake mix into extra-moist + flavorful banana bread that's wonderful for breakfast, or anytime!
Box cake mix is the ultimate shortcut for banana bread (and cookies) because it contains all the essential dry ingredients to form the base for those baked goods: flour, sugar and leavener. Simply add the wet ingredients. Another great thing is the variety of flavor combos. If it's a box mix flavor, it can become a cookie or banana bread!
Flourless Oatmeal Raisin Banana Bread
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 8-inch loaf pans with parchment paper so there is an overhang on the longer sides of the pans. Grease the parchment paper with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix, oil, eggs, mashed bananas and sour cream until combined. Stir in ¾ cup of the chocolate chips, then divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle the top of each loaf with the remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips.
Bake the bread for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove the loaves from the oven and transfer them to a rack to cool completely. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the loaves out of the pans, then slice and serve.

Moist And Delicious Banana Bread Recipe
This banana bread recipe is one of my favorites and it’s one that I make so frequently. I even let my type-A personality take the backseat sometimes and let my kids help me out with it. They love using the potato masher to mash the bananas. They also love talking me into adding some chocolate chips.
I’ve shared a few varieties of this bread: whole wheat caramel banana bread, whole wheat banana bread with chocolate chips and coconut, reduced-fat chocolate banana bread, and skinny banana bread muffins! Healthy banana bread is another favorite. We really do love this whole wheat banana bread in every shape and form.
Even with all its different variations, this recipe is the one I go to most often. If I have enough bananas, I almost always make two loaves. I’m all about doubling up on things because it isn’t much more work to use a bigger bowl and wash two loaf pans. Then we have one loaf to enjoy right away AND a loaf to freeze. Yay!
Clean Eating Chocolate Chip Blender Banana Bread!
I’ll run through the recipe here with lots of additional tips but feel free to jump to the recipe card below. You’ll find complete instructions and nutrition information. What You’ll Need
Bowls. One bowl for mashing the bananas, one to combine the wet ingredients, and one final bowl for the dry ingredients. It’s the type-A in me again, probably. Everything in its place!
Then I remembered that I don’t like doing dishes, so I switched to the method I use now for most of my quick breads and muffins. With this method, you only need one bowl.
Banana Bread With Chocolate And Crystallised Ginger
Here’s how to do it: Start off by mashing the bananas in the bottom of a large bowl. To the bananas, add the sugar and the rest of the wet ingredients: eggs, applesauce, oil, and vanilla.
Give the contents of the bowl a vigorous stir, making sure the eggs are well blended. You shouldn’t be seeing runny whites or yellows.
On top of that mixture, gently add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Give those a little toss together – I use my fingertips! – before stirring them into the wet ingredients.
Flavourful Banana Bread
Gently fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture until there’s no dry parts. Try not to overmix the batter. It will look a little lumpy and that’s okay. Overmixing makes the bread tough or have a lot of big holes.
Scrape the batter into a loaf pan and bake! It will take about an hour. Use the toothpick method to test if it’s done.
Wondering how to tell when your bread is ready to take out of the oven? Stick a toothpick halfway into the bread, near the center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean or with a crumb or two attached, the bread is ready to take out of the oven. If it comes out with sticky batter, let the bread bake a bit longer.
The Best Banana Bread Ever”
Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes or so before removing it from the pan. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
While this bread is completely delicious on its own, to dress it up, try spreading it with gingerbread butter, orange honey butter, or just plain butter. Peanut butter is really good, too. For fancier brunches, serve it with vanilla bean whipped cream cheese.
Like most baked goods, banana bread is a sweet treat that should be eaten on a “once-in-awhile” basis. Bakery banana bread is often high in added sugar and fat, making it “bad” for you.
The Best Classic Banana Bread Recipe
However, I would consider this recipe a healthier choice because it’s made with whole wheat flour (for added nutrition and fiber), less sugar, and very little added fat. Most of the sweetness comes from the bananas and applesauce.
Hmm, are we talking about taste or health attributes? Banana bread is a better choice nutritionally. It has less fat, sugar, and usually isn’t frosted like a banana cake is.
There’s certainly a place in my heart for banana cake though! If you’d like a recipe, try the best banana cake. It’s wonderful frosted with homemade cream cheese frosting or even better, chocolate cream cheese frosting!
Whole Wheat Reduced Fat Chocolate Banana Bread
Because banana bread is quite moist, it’s a good environment for mold and bacteria growth. It will be fine on your counter for a few days but if you notice fuzzy mold, black or white spots, or a strange odor, discard it.
As I mentioned above, I usually make a double batch which yields two loaves: one to eat fresh, and one to freeze. You’ll need six ripe bananas which is a lot of bananas! Whenever I have extra ripe bananas, I peel them and put them into a freezer safe container for later use, like baking that extra loaf of bread. Thaw them slightly before using. They may look a bit juicy and brown but don’t worry, the bread turns out fine. If that sounds like a good plan to you, you can read more about freezing bananas.
Always make sure home-baked breads or muffins are completely cool before storing in an airtight container or resealable bag. Warm bread in an airtight container will produce moisture which promotes spoilage.
