Description

Trader Joe's Banana Bread Mix brings all the goodness of homemade banana bread in an easy-to-prepare mix. Built on unbleached enriched wheat flour, real banana flakes, wheat germ, and bran, this mix delivers a moist, flavorful loaf with genuine banana character — no overripe bananas required (though you can add one for extra flavor).

Just add 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3/4 cup water. Bake at 350°F in an 8-inch loaf pan for about 40 minutes until dark golden brown and firm to the touch. The same batter makes muffins at 325°F in 20 to 25 minutes. The box also includes a bonus recipe for a Caramelized Banana Upside-Down Cake — a showstopper dessert using a 9-inch springform pan, 5 ripe bananas, brown sugar, and butter, baked at 350°F for 55 to 65 minutes and serving 8 to 10.

Feel free to add your own extras: a ripe banana, coconut, berries, walnuts, or peanut butter frosting. The mix contains wheat and is not gluten-free. No dairy ingredients are listed in the mix itself — dairy is only introduced if you follow the muffin variation (creamed butter) or the upside-down cake recipe.

HIOOL GOODS sources this directly from Trader Joe's U.S. stores, packs it carefully, and ships it to your door across the U.S. and Canada.

Preparation Instructions (Loaf)

You will need: 2 Large Eggs, 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil, 3/4 Cup Water.

Preheat conventional oven to 350°F. Lightly butter or spray an 8-inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, oil and water. Add the dry ingredients to the liquid and stir with a large spoon just until the ingredients are combined. A few specks of dry mix may remain. Deposit into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until dark golden brown and firm to the touch.

High Altitude: Decrease oil or butter to 1/4 cup. Add an additional 2 Tbsp water. Add 2 Tbsp All Purpose Flour.

Preparation Instructions (Muffins)

Preheat conventional oven to 325°F. Grease muffin tins with butter. Omit oil and replace with 1/3 cup creamed butter. Place mix in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and water; mix together until blended. Fold in creamed butter. Do not overmix. Pour batter into tins and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Bonus Recipe: Caramelized Banana Upside-Down Cake

You will need: TJ's Coconut Cooking Oil Spray, 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted), 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed), 5 medium ripe bananas (peeled & sliced), 1 Full Package TJ's Banana Bread Mix, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup oil, 3/4 cup water, 9-inch springform cake pan, baking sheet.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray pan with coconut oil spray; set aside. Pour butter into the cake pan. Use a pastry brush to butter sides of pan. Evenly sprinkle brown sugar over the butter. Fan banana slices (cut side down) out from center of pan like spokes of a wheel; cover the entire pan bottom with banana slices. Use short pieces to fill in gaps. Stand short banana pieces around sides of pan (cut side in), spaced side by side; set pan aside. In a large bowl make batter according to pack directions. Place pan on baking sheet and gently pour batter over bananas. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until center is set, golden brown, and springy to the touch. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Avoid having toothpick reach the gooey caramelized bananas. Allow cake to cool for at least one hour before inverting onto a cake plate. Serve with whipped cream if desired. Serves 8–10.
