Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large bananas Very ripe - or 3-4 small bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional but delicious

Instructions

  • Turn oven on to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Mash bananas
  • Add and mix in the two eggs
  • Add cake mix to the egg and banana mixture.  Do not add the ingredients listed on the box!
  • Add optional cinnamon
  • Stir until everything is well mixed.  This can be done by hand or at a slow speed with a hand mixer. The batter should have banana lumps in it so it is not smooth.
  • Bake for approx. 18 minutes.  Test for doneness with a toothpick

Notes

The dough will be sticky and muffins will be lighter than traditional banana bread.  Different but delicious!
