Ingredients
Scale
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (3 to 4 medium)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour bottoms only of 2 (8×4-inch) loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, oil, eggs, and bananas until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly between pans.
- Bake 43 to 48 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of loaves comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans. Run a metal spatula around the edge of loaves to loosen; remove from pans to a cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins! Walnuts, pecans, or even a swirl of peanut butter would be delicious.
- For extra flavor, try using browned butter instead of vegetable oil.
- This banana bread freezes beautifully! Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Don’t be afraid to use really ripe bananas – the more ripe, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread will be!
