Cinnamon Chip Banana Bread Mix

CINNAMON CHIP BANANA BREAD MIX

The banana bread that becomes everything.

Four Tips for the Best Banana Bread

Start with very ripe bananas. Squishy, even black bananas have two to three times the flavor of just-ripe ones. We freeze our overripe bananas and pull them out when it's time to bake.

Add a teaspoon of banana flavor. Even the ripest bananas benefit from a boost. We found an exceptional banana flavor in Chicago and loaded it into our recipe. We sell it too — give it a try.

This mix already has cinnamon chips. You get a burst of sweet cinnamon in every bite — no measuring, no add-ins required.  

Refrigerate your loaf overnight. Wrap it and chill it. It's like magic — the flavors meld and mature, and the bread holds together with hardly any crumbs. Perfect for slicing into sandwiches.

7 Magnificent Things You Can Make with Banana Bread

1. PB&J Banana Bread Sandwich Creamy peanut butter, strawberry jam, banana bread straight from the fridge. Try it with honey instead of jam, or go full Nutella. The kids will love it — and so will you.

2. Strawberry Cream Cheese Sandwich Whip your favorite jam into softened cream cheese and sweeten to taste. Strawberry is a favorite. So is apricot syrup whipped with cream cheese. Spread it thick.

3. Banana Bread French Toast One of the best ideas on the planet. Slice it a little thicker than you think, don't let it sit too long in the egg wash, and lift each slice with a wide spatula that supports the full width. Refrigerating overnight first makes all the difference.

4. Banana Bread Ala Mode Pile vanilla ice cream on two slices, pour caramel topping over it, sprinkle with chopped pecans. Simple. Devastating.

5. Banana Bread Bread Pudding Tear the loaf into chunks, pour a custard of eggs, milk, brown sugar, and vanilla over it, top with chocolate chips and nuts, bake until golden. A dessert that earns compliments.

6. Frosted Dessert Loaf Drizzle frosting over the whole loaf and it becomes a cake. Bake it in a bundt pan and it looks like one too.

7. Banana Bread with Flavored Whipped Cream Caramel nut whipped cream on a warm slice. Or strawberry marshmallow cream piped from a pastry bag. This is the one that surprises people.

Great Spreads and Pairings

Almost any sweet spread works with banana bread — flavored honeys, fruit syrups, jam-whipped cream cheese. The mix is rich enough to hold its own against bold flavors and subtle enough to let the toppings shine.

Questions About Banana Bread and How to Make It

What makes this banana bread the best? It's a really good recipe, lots of banana flavor, and then the cinnamon chips make it incredible.

What makes it so "banana-y"? I can't make mine that banana-y. We found a really good banana flavor in Chicago and loaded up our recipe. We sell the banana flavor — give it a try. It works.

Do I still need to add ripe bananas? Please, no flavor will take the place of the taste of ripe bananas. Together, they're incredible.

What if my bananas are really ripe, almost black? Oh, that's even better — the riper, the more banana flavor.

What if they're really ugly? Then they're like gold! Pop them in a zipper bag and freeze them.

The bread is really moist and luscious. Is that the bananas? Maybe a little. It's mostly the recipe.

Why do you say to store the loaf in the refrigerator? It's like magic. The flavors seem to meld and mature, and the bread holds together with hardly any crumbs.

Got any more secrets like that? Yeah, a couple. If you're making French toast with your banana bread, cut the slices a little thicker and don't let them sit too long in the egg wash. Lift them with a wide spatula that supports the full width of the bread. And give your banana bread a night in the refrigerator before cooking.

I see you make sandwiches with banana bread. Really? Oh, yes. My favorite is strawberry cream cheese on banana bread. The kids will love PB&J on banana bread.

Does this make a full-sized loaf? Yes, it makes a large 9-inch by 5-inch loaf. One customer made two smaller loaves so she could give one away.
