Overdue Recipe

April 26, 2009 by pictureperfectcooking

I just realized it has been two weeks since I posted a recipe on this “cooking” blog.  Not a lot of cooking has been going on since we have been feverishly working outside while the weather is so perfect, but I did make banana bread for a Relay for Life bake sale last week.

 

I had never found a banana bread recipe that I was really satisfied with until recently.  All the others that I had tried would turn out too dry or too heavy.  This is just right!  It is light, fluffy, and most importantly, moist.  It is also really, really easy.

 

Easy Banana Nut Bread

1 package yellow cake mix

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

3 medium-large bananas

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/4 tsp cinnamon or apple pie spice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray 2 8×4 loaf pans with non-stick spray.  Combine cake mix, egg, and milk.  Mash bananas and add them to the cake mixture.  Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.  Stir in pecans and cinnamon/apple pie spice.  Divide batter evenly into the loaf pans.  Bake for 40-45 minutes or until tester comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes and then remove from the pans.

    Have you ever made these into muffins? My daughter is bugging me to make banana nut bread, but she is the only one that eats it & I was thinking if I could make muffins, I could freeze some & pull them out for breakfast

      I have never made these into muffins, but I think it would work. You would probably need to cut the cooking time down to about 20 minutes to allow for the size difference. Hope your daughter likes them. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
