GF Banana Bread

This is my FAVORITE GF banana bread recipe. Probably not the healthiest, but it is by far the yummiest!

1 box GF yellow cake mix (Betty Crocker is my favorite)
1 cup mashed very ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas, although sometimes I will use three if they are smaller)
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan (I use 9x5, but you can also use 8x4) with vegetable spray.
2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, mashed bananas, butter and eggs with electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes. Scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
3. Bake for 1 hour 5 min. to 1 hour 15 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Place sheet of foil over loaf about half way through cooking to prevent over browning on top of bread.
4. Cool 10 min on cooling rack before removing from pan.  Loosen sides of loaf pan with butter knife, remove from pan to cooling rack and continue cooling for an additional hour before slicing.
