How to Make Cake Mix Banana Bread:

To whip up a loaf, start by placing a package of dry cake mix, three eggs, some canola (or vegetable) oil, mashed overripe bananas, and a bit of ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Beat these ingredients together with an electric mixer until they're well combined. If you're including nuts in your banana bread, stir in the chopped nuts.

Then pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, pop it in the oven, and bake the banana bread for about an hour until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it to a cooling rack to cool completely. -- And you're done!
