Red Velvet Banana Bread is so easy to make. It is so moist and flavorful and addicting.
I am alllll about easy recipes. I have 4 kids. I don’t have time for fancy shmancy recipes that take all the time to make. One kid needs help with this and the other kid needs help with that. This kid can’t reach this and that one can’t find that. There’s only 5 ingredients in this Red Velvet Banana Bread. That’s a mom approved recipe for sure. It turns out so soft, moist and cake-like. And the chocolate red velvet flavor goes perfectly with the bananas. With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, this is a great treat to make for your loved ones. You could make mini loaves and give them to your kids’ teachers or friends.
You can also add in chocolate chips or drizzle a yummy white glaze on top. I love it just the way it is. And a trick to cutting it, or any quick bread: sometimes it gets a crust on top that’s hard to cut through without breaking the slices into pieces. Just place the cooled loaf into a gallon sized ziploc bag or wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit a couple hours or overnight. It will cut like a dream. Perfect slices every time!
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 3 very ripe bananas
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 Tbsp. buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Beat the ripe bananas until "soupy".
- Add the melted butter and mix again.
- Pour the dry cake mix on top to create a barrier for the eggs.
- Add the eggs and buttermilk.
- Mix all together until smooth.
- Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake 45-50 minutes until done.

Your kids are lucky that you bake for them – and it’s extra special with the banana thrown in! Pretty soon, they will be baking for you instead!
Thanks, Michelle! I agree, it will be great when they are baking for me 🙂
