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

Add the cake mix and egg to the banana and stir until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top lightly.
Step 5
Bake for 25–28 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
