Double Chocolate Cake Mix Banana Bread- Grab a box of cake mix and let's make some banana bread! This lovely loaf only needs 3 basic ingredients and is fantabulous. 🍌

Did you know you can make banana bread with a basic box of cake mix?

Heck yes, you can!

Let's get to it. 

 Ingredients Needed

• Chocolate cake mix
• Eggs
• Bananas
• Mini chocolate chips

Any Flavor Cake Mix?

Yep.  If chocolate is not your thing, you can use any flavor/brand cake mix.  It does need to be a standard size box.  Approx. 15-18 oz in size will work.

Additional Recipe Notes:

• Bananas:  The riper, the better.  A great way to mash your bananas?  A potato masher. Works great!  
• Don't over mix your batter.  It can give you a dense loaf of banana bread. Mix your batter until no dry spots are left for a softer bread.
• Leftovers can be kept in a sealed container/ plastic bag and it's best if it's eaten within a a week.  If you wish to freeze your banana bread, go for it.  Let it cool first, then, store in a freezer safe (covered) container or storage bag.

Double Chocolate Cake Mix Banana Bread

By Erin

Prep: 15 mins Cook: 45 mins Yield: 8 slices

Ingredients

• 1 standard size box chocolate cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

1. Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat together the dry cake mix, eggs, and mashed bananas. Don't over-mix your batter. Gently stir in 1/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips.
3. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Baker's Tip: If the top of the banana bread is getting too dark but it's still not fully baked through, cover the pan loosely with a piece of foil. This will help prevent the top from burning.
5. Cool & Serve: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
