4 Ingredient Cake Mix Banana Bread

3.   Add the eggs, melted butter, and cake mix. Stir until just combined — do not overmix.

4.   Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

5.   Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6.   Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Tips & Variations
