There are so many things that can be done with Betty Crocker cake mixes...including this recipe of course. I've been fiddling with BC cake mix desserts for years and have found that almost any type of quick bread comes out 'just right' given a little common sense. If my bananas are small I use more and it may take a bit longer to cook if I use half applesauce and half bananas. Cooking times will vary greatly depending on oven temperature and whether or not the TOP of the pan is in the middle of the oven, and what type of pan is used. These recipes are good, standardized recipes. If another brand of cake mix is used be aware that the results may not be the same. And for the person whose chocolate chips sunk, try shaking the chips in a dusting of flour and adding them last by folding not mixing. They will stay disbursed throughout the batter. Some things not mentioned in this recipe that can be added to the basic recipe are cooked oatmeal with apples or raisins, applesauce, cranberries or blueberries, well drained pineapple...the list is almost endless. Cake mix cookies are also as versatile.

Fast, easy and tasty! As the other reviewers have noted; the baking time is incorrect. In my oven it took exactly one hour to come out perfect. Not as dense as a traditional banana bread, but still very good and it couldn't have been easier to throw together!

Tried the variation of spice cake w/cream cheese. The one slice I got from the pan was very yummy! However after 1 1/2 hours of cooking, the next couple of slices were still not cooked all the way. Also it cooked right over the edges of the pan making a huge mess, luckly I put a piece of foil under my pan. Next time I will split the amount between two loaf pans. Not sure how any of the other variations would fit in one loaf pan either. Anyone else have issues like this?

Loved it!!!! I do not like banana bread but this I couldn't stop eating! So simple and so good! Even my kids who do not like anything with bananas in it ate this! I highly recommend! I found the baking time to be accurate however I was using 4x8 bread pans.

love the chocolate chips in it; hate nuts.
