These cake mix banana muffins use just a few ingredients. They are a light and fluffy muffin loaded with yummy banana flavor!
These cake mix banana muffins are so easy to make. They are so light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness and banana. Using a box of cake mix is my favorite way to make banana bread too. Some of my other favorites are this yellow cake mix banana bread, spice cake banana bread, and chocolate cake mix banana bread.
These banana muffins are perfect for using up those bananas that have been sitting on your counter too long. They make for a wonderful snack or breakfast.

Ingredients needed
For these muffins, you will need:
- Yellow cake mix: You will need one box of yellow cake mix for this recipe. Don’t worry about the instructions or the ingredients on the box.
- Cinnamon and nutmeg: To give the muffins a little spice.
- Butter: I used unsalted but if you like a little salt, salted will work just fine in this recipe.
- Eggs: You will need three large eggs.
- Vanilla extract
- Milk: You can also substitute water.
- Bananas: You will need three ripe bananas (this was about one and a half cups of mashed bananas for me).
Equipment needed
You will need a large mixing bowl, mixer, a muffin tin, and cupcake liners.
