🍌 Ingredients needed

• Vanilla extract: I always recommend pure vanilla extract for baking.

⏲️ How to make this recipe (step by step guide)

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, blend the bananas, eggs, butter, vanilla extract. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cake mix slowly. Add the ⅓ cup of water and blend well with a hand mixer for 3-4 minutes (image 1).

Pour into a bundt cake pan (image 2). Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees or until the top is golden.

🧊 Can I freeze this banana bread?

Yes, you can! Since this recipe makes either a bundt cake pan or two loaf pans of banana bread you can freeze any leftovers. To freeze, tightly wrap your banana bread tightly in plastic cling wrap or aluminum foil and then freeze for up to three months. Using a double layer of wrap or foil will help to preserve the bread in the freezer.

• I highly recommend using a bundt cake pan. The bundt shape helps the banana bread become extra moist.
