Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly butter a 9x5" metal loaf pan.

Step 2

In the bowl of an electric mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add sugar and beat until well blended.

Step 3

Beat eggs into mixture one at a time. Add mashed bananas and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Batter may look a bit lumpy.

Step 4

With the mixer on low speed, beat in pancake mix until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.

Step 5

Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, until edges are turning golden and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack and cool.
