Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it generously.

  2. Step 2

    Mash the banana in a bowl until mostly smooth—a few lumps are fine.

  3. Step 3

    Add the cake mix and egg to the banana and stir until just combined and no dry streaks remain.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top lightly.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 25–28 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. Step 6

    Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack—serve warm or at room temperature.

Tools you’ll need

  • loaf pan (9x5 inches)
