Servings:

Heat oven to 350°F. Generously spray 2 (8x4-inch) loaf pans with cooking spray and then line with parchment paper if desired. (The parchment paper isn't necessary but makes removal easier.)
In a large bowl, mash the bananas well, then add the dry cake mix and eggs and mix until well combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of loaves comes out clean and inside of cracks do not look wet.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool 15 minutes in pans on wire racks. Remove loaves from pans to continue cooling on racks. Cool completely, about 2 hours, to prevent crumbling when slicing.
Cut into 24 slices.

This batter works just as well as muffins.

Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or coat with nonstick cooking spray.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Bake at 350F degrees for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

I like lining my loaf pans with parchment paper, but it's not necessary if you're using nonstick pans well coated with cooking spray.

Because this batter is fairly thick, spreading it evenly in the pans helps ensure even baking.

Muffins tend to bake more evenly when the cups are filled about three-quarters full.
