Easy Banana Bread baked in a Solar Oven

Banana Bread can be baked in a solar oven very well. Here is a very easy recipe that uses a cake mix and ripe bananas.

I love banana bread. Do you? I have baked banana bread in the solar oven before. But now I have found a really easy recipe. It only has 4 ingredients – 5 if you count the nuts which are optional for every one except my husband.

Easy Banana Bread

5 ripe bananas
1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Pre-heat the solar oven while preparing the ingredients.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the eggs, and vanilla, and mix until blended. Add the cake mix and again, mix until blended. Add the nuts and — you guessed it — mix until blended.

Pour the mixture into a greased 5 x 9 inch loaf pan.

I used two 4 x 8 bread pans so that the bread would bake faster. I also raised the bread pans off of the flour of the solar oven using metal canning jar rings. The bread took 2 hours to bake.
