All the time! I made a yellow cake mix with one egg, three ripe bananas, and a cup of water. I baked it in my ndividual cupcake pans and it made 24 at 1 points each. I froze 18 of them. I can take out one or several at a time. prep for future snacks.

Answer 31

You can also use a can of diet soda with no oil or eggs just a can of diet soda of your choice and the cake taste amazing and is nice and fluffy.  

Answer 32

I use cake mix and a can of pumpkin, no other ingredients. Its wonderful with devils food cake!  

Answer 33

Funny you should ask. My daughter just made brownies and used bananas because short on eggs. They had a hint of banana taste but was good.  

Answer 34

You can make brownies w/ a can of black beans, drained and rinsed, and put in blender to make paste, then add to brownie mix ( I use sugar free mix) also add 1/4c. water stir like hell its thick, bake in 8x8 sprayed pan @ 350, mmmmmmmmm

Answer 35

I have use applesauce already

Answer 36

I have replaced apple sauce for oil equal amounts and in an angel food cake box mix added a 15 oz can of crushed pineapple (the whole can) including the Juice in place of all the other ingredients called for. Mix as usual bake as usual. Banana should work as an equal sub for oil. Make sure they are well mashed so they are liquified it your cake will be way heavier. It will be heavier without the oil but so so dense if there isn’t a liquified banana purée

Answer 37

I did but wasn’t a fan. I like bananas but the texture was not very cake-like. I like to substitute Fage 0% Greek yogurt for the oil. I do add the eggs if it calls for them.  

Answer 38

Hmmmm, applesauce but never bananas. Interesting.  

Answer 39

I have made cake mixes successfully by only adding a can of soda water or any diet pop. A bit crumblier but still delicious :)

Answer 40

I have, but I prefer using applesauce typically. Never know the difference!  

Answer 41

I made banana bread with yellow sugar free cake mix, 4 bananas, and two eggs. It also needed 1/2 cup water. They were just OK. I like the applesauce better.  

Answer 42

I use pumpkin

Answer 43

Why are you eating cake?  

Answer 44

Sugar is bad not oil!
