Well, I guess I’m just continuing the breakfast food theme here this week as part of Mindee’s Pinterest Post Party {every Tuesday and Thursday in May if you want to join in}!
When I see the words “easy” and “bread” in the same recipe title on Pinterest, I get very excited.
Carbs sure are wonderful, aren’t they?
Not only did this banana bread recipe claim to be easy, but it also involved a cake mix! Cake mix recipes are some of my favorites because they require so much less measuring!
{Sometimes I just want to be a lazy baker, ok?!}
This Easy Banana Bread recipe from Artsy Fartsy Mama lived up to its “easy” claim one hundred percent! And I would add YUMMY to the title, as well!
Just a few notes for you and for myself next time I make this bread {because there WILL be a next time}:
1. In the recipe, she says you can use two small loaf pans or one large one. I used one loaf pan and needed to bake it much longer than the suggested time.
2. I used three ripe bananas and 3/4 chocolate chips.
3. I think these would make excellent muffins {with a shorter cooking time}!
4. This banana bread is more dense than most recipes I have tried. It was nice to not have it fall apart everywhere when I picked it up!
I highly recommend you give this a try!
And please share any other treats you like to make using a cake mix {because I really need more sweets to tempt me, right?}!
P.S. After two years without, we entered the smartphone world once again this week.
Hello lovely…
Maybe I’ll do an iPhone-related Pinterest post next week! Now, excuse me while I go back to obsessively taking pictures on Instagram…
Mmmmm . . . banana bread.
I love Instagram and though I was a reluctant smart phone convert as well I would never go back now.
I also only recently became a smart phone owner but I can’t imagine going back! And that looks delicious – I ALWAYS use cake mix – it tastes just as good and is SO much less work!
I love banana bread, but am the only one who eats it at my house. I usually make little loaves to share. I will have to try this. I love easy!!
Easy banana bread is right up my alley.
I always add chocolate chips to my banana bread. How can one go wrong? 🙂
What would we do without our smart phones? Its sad, really.
