Friday Foodie

Yesterday morning Les said, "Those bananas are looking pretty bad, you need to make banana bread."  It was raining at the time and I was not opposed to the idea.  I thought I might have a banana bread mix in the cupboard, but I did not.  I did have a spice cake mix.  I turned to Google and searched "banana muffins with cake mix."  There were over 13 million results!  I clicked on the first link and knew this was the site for me - "The Lazy Dish" is all about quick and easy recipes and I feel sure I'll be going back to this site for more.
 


Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
1 (15.25oz) box of cake mix (yellow or chocolate)
3 large very ripe bananas 
2 eggs 
1/2 cup mix-ins of your choice (nuts, chocolate chips, etc.)1/2 cup mix-ins of your choice (nuts, chocolate chips, etc.)
 
Instructions 
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease or line a muffin pan. 
In a medium size bowl, mash the bananas until smooth; combine with the cake mix and eggs. 
Fold in about half a cup of chocolate chips and/or nuts (optional).
Evenly fill your muffin cups and bake in the center rack for 15-20 minutes or until no longer doughy in the middle.
 
Recipe Notes
You'll just be using the DRY cake mix for these muffins. No need for the ingredients on the box.
 
I did not have a yellow or chocolate cake mix, but spice worked just fine.  It added a more cinnamon flavor to the muffins that we both really liked.  They definitely needed to bake the entire 20 minutes.  I don't mind a lazy dish when it turns out yummy!
