3-Ingredient Banana Bread

Ingredients:

• 4 large ripe bananas
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 package (430 g) of dry spiced sponge mix

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang along the long sides.
2. In a large bowl, mash 3 bananas with a fork until smooth, reserving the fourth, prettiest banana for topping. Stir in the eggs and spiced cake mix until smooth and lump-free.
3. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the surface with a small offset spatula. Cut the remaining banana in half lengthwise, then place the halves cut-side up on the batter, facing each other. Bake until richly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
4. Transfer the pan with the bread to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Run a knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the bread, then invert it onto the rack and let it cool completely.
