About the Recipe
It can't be that simple, can it?
Actually, yes, it can. A few ingredients, and some of them are not even needed. At bare minimum, a box of cake mix, 2 eggs, and 3-4 bananas. Anything else is just putting some flair on it in a way that makes -you- happy, and maybe not always Tammy, down the street. She likes Coconut mix-ins with the German Chocolate cake mix variation. While delicious, I'm sure, I just don't have a taste for coconuts. But I digress. We are here today to go bananas, and it's nuts! (Oh yes, I'm a punny one, I'm sorry.)
Ingredients
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
3-4 Ripe Bananas
2 Large Eggs
1/3 Cup Chopped Walnuts
2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
Optional Ingredients ( See Variation Suggestions below!)Pre
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F.
Step 2
Mash the bananas - It doesn't have to be a uniform paste. Small clumps are fine!
Step 3
Add the eggs.
Step 4
Add the dry box mix - This will be a a bit thick and banana-chunky. Good. Just don't let it have clumps of dry flour!
Step 5
Add nuts - I measure in handfuls. This is supposed to be to your preference If you are extra nutty, dump in half the bag, If allergic, omit. Simple.
Step 6
Add cinnamon (and/or other mix in variations) and mix together.
Step 7
Portioning the batter - fill your prepped cups/tins about 3/4 full. A scoop could help you not to be a messy like me! I'll get there one day...
Step 8
Bake in the oven at 350F for about 18 minutes. If you didn't use a liner, keep in mind they will brown a little faster! Look for your desired level of golden brown.
