Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the lightly beaten eggs and oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the dry cake mix into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Tip 1: Use VERY Ripe Bananas. The spottier, the better! This is crucial for sweetness and moisture.
Tip 2: Do Not Overmix. Stir only until the flour is just incorporated to keep the bread tender.
Tip 3: Add-Ins. Feel free to fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips or chopped walnuts for extra flavor and texture.
Tip 4: Cake Mix Variations. Try using a Spice Cake or Butter Pecan cake mix for a delicious twist.
