This easy 3 ingredient banana bread is great on its own, but it is even better when you customize it with various pantry ingredients!

After incorporating the cake mix into the bananas and the eggs you can add a variety of items to the dough to jazz it up. Any variety of nuts, chocolate chips, berries…the possibilities are endless.

When my banana bread is fresh out of the oven I like to slather the top with butter and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the entire loaf. It gives each bite a cinnamony sugary deliciousness that will not disappoint you. Once you have banana bread with a buttery cinnamon sugared top you will not want to go back to the traditional banana bread, trust me.

Any cake mix can be used to make this banana bread. I generally buy cake mix whenever I find it on sale and stock pile it. The cake mix I used for this recipe was $0.76 (can’t beat that!)! This banana bread would be great with white cake, spice cake, French vanilla, maybe even chocolate; the possibilities are endless.
