Four Ingredient Banana Bread

The BEST and EASIEST banana bread recipe ever!! So popular, you need to make this today!

Four Ingredient Banana Bread

I am always getting requests for easy, delicious recipes. After all who doesn’t like easy right? Well this four ingredient banana bread is only four ingredients (like the title says!) and only takes a couple of minutes to whip up!

Last time I went grocery shopping I bought a few extra bananas just so I could try out this recipe. I decided to make it last night while I was cooking spaghetti for the kids. Since it’s such a quick recipe I was able to make it while watching the pasta cook.

Four ingredients in your mixer to mix and then you’re putting it in the oven. I decided to use a bundt pan for it and it baked up beautifully!

This four ingredient banana bread or banana cake as my kids called it was a hit! They loved it! It made a nice dessert for them last night.

You can slice this and spread butter on the slices, while it’s still warm which tastes amazing!  Or you can top with some icing after it cools down. It’s also perfectly delicious as is. If you decide to add chocolate chips before baking it gives it an extra sweet taste and that way you may not need the icing. You can also leave them out or use any kind of nuts instead. Raisins are also an option.

As the kids were heading to the park after supper I saw them grab a second piece! I love it when I bake something they really enjoy!

This would be great for a bake sale or to take to a party as well. Banana bread is always so popular!

  1. I have made this using butter pecan mix, 5 bananas, chopped pecans, and vanilla. I didn’t add the chips. It was amazing.

  3. Really tasty! A great and easy way to use up bananas! I used a chocolate cake mix…..now it’s in high demand for MORE!!!

  6. Just finished making this! My kitchen smells so good, the cake looks really yummy. Thanks for the recipe.

  7. Will be making this in a cast iron bundt and making a clear vanilla glaze. I got a white cake mix, and extra banana.

    • Unless you are allergic to eggs or egg yolks, just use regular eggs. Eggs are not the little monsters they are accused of being.. The sugar in the chocolate chips and flour in the cake mix will do more to raise your cholesterol than any eggs. Eating Eggs regularly cholesterol raises the good cholesterol and lowers the bad cholesterol.

  9. I bet this would be delish with a strawberry cake mix . . . OMG , my mouth waters when I think of that combination , OR even a Blueberry muffin mix ! ! ! WOW , the possibilities are endless . YUMMM

  12. This looks so delicious and sounds so easy to make. I usually follow another recipe for banana bread but this sounds so much easier. I’ll make it one day.

  14. If you don’t like chocolate chips you can replace it with raisins or blueberries or nuts or all 3

  16. Been making this for quite a while. I made an icing glaze and streamed it over top. Everyone demands it. Oh, and I used walnuts.

    • I make this recipe with gluten free all purpose flour and Pure Leaf sweetener (xylitol) bc my husband is intolerant of wheat and gluten and a diabetic. It tastes awesome!

    • My low carb recipes are good for people on diets, yes 🙂
      I also post recipes like this that aren’t diet foods 🙂

  24. Been making this for a long time. 1cake mix ( your choice), 2 eggs, 3 bananas. Makes 1 loaf. I double this and make 2 smaller loaves. ( use tin foil pans. A little smaller but also a good size. 2 go into the freezer for later and we eat one. stock up on the cake mixes when they go on sale and you are always ready to make. Enjoy.
