Easy Banana Bread Recipe

This easy banana bread recipe is one of the fastest banana bread recipes you'll ever find, because it starts with a cake mix. But it tastes 100% homemade. The streusel topping really makes this banana bread recipe terrific.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (non-fat is okay)
  • 3 large bananas
  • 18.25 oz. spice cake mix
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/2 cup walnuts

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. With an electric mixer, beat eggs, sour cream and bananas until smooth.

  3. Add cake mix and beat until blended, but do not overmix.

  4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

  5. Place remaining ingredients in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse 6 to 8 times until combined. Do not overprocess; you still want to see the chopped walnuts.

  6. Sprinkle topping evenly over batter in loaf pan, pressing down lightly with your fingers.

  7. Bake on the middle rack for 1 hour to 1 hour, 10 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

  8. Let banana bread cool 10 minutes in pan. Lift out with a large spatula and let cool another 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve banana bread warm or at room temperature with a tall glass of cold milk.
