My family LOVES banana bread.
I hate making banana bread.
I can’t tell you how many black bananas I’ve thrown away because I just swore I was going to get around to it – eventually. I’ve even put them in the freezer to save for later, then I eventually throw away the freezer burned bananas, too.
So when I started seeing this recipe for banana bread pop up all over Pinterest, I knew I had to give it a try.
Ingredients
1 Yellow Cake Mix
3-4 very ripe Bananas (I used 4)
2 Eggs
Chocolate Chips (optional)
Preheat oven to 350*. Prepare 2 regular or one large loaf pan(s) by spraying WELL with cooking spray (or by greasing and flouring. Do people still do that?)
Peel the bananas and throw them all in a big bowl; use your mixer to mash them all up.
Now just dump in the cake mix and the eggs, and mix well. Then stir in the chocolate chips. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup to 1 cup. (I am lazy, so I just threw in the whole bag. I thought that was a little too chocolately and would only use 1/2 bag next time.)
Pour into the prepared loaf pans
and bake for 35-40 minutes (mine took 45. It will also take longer if you are doing one big pan). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then turn out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Uh…I told you to spray the pan well…
It was DELICIOUS. I will never make regular banana bread (or waste all those bananas!) again!

I don’t know many people that don’t like fruit pizza. But I have to share my recipe with you today! I don’t use the normal sugar cookie base. Mine is an oatmeal cookie base instead! And let me tell you…it is SO good. I like it so much better than the sugar cookie fruit pizzas. This has become a staple at our family reunions now too!
Crust (oatmeal cookie dough)
1 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1½ c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
3 cups oatmeal
Heat oven to 350. Beat together butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix well. Stir in oatmeal. Spread dough onto pizza round about 1/4 of an inch thick and bake 15-20 minutes (depends on pan, thickness, etc….check middle to see if it is still doughy). Cool completely before topping with “sauce.”
Fruit Pizza “Sauce”
one pint whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla (almond extract tastes great too!)
½ cup powdered sugar
3 or 4 oz pkg of cream cheese
Whip the cream until stiff (but not buttery) and add vanilla. Soften cream cheese and whip with powdered sugar, then fold into whipped cream. Top oatmeal crust and coat completely (you will most likely have some left over).
Now top your pizza with your choice of fruit toppings! We love strawberries, bananas, blueberries, kiwi fruit, grapes, and oranges. Enjoy!
