This story starts at a cabin in the middle of nowhere with the sun just creeping over the horizon …

(Oh all right. It was a historic rustic home in a state park, but with no cell service or Wifi, it pretty much felt like the middle of nowhere.) 

Anyway 😉

Between my mom and I, we packed enough stuff that you would have thought that we were staying for a week rather than just two nights. Despite all of our list making, calls back and forth, checking and double checking, we forgot one of the muffin pans for morning muffins. Which is kind of key for making muffins for 9 people.

So, we poured our muffin mix into a square baking pan and this ‘cake’ made from muffin mixes was born!

Guys, this is like muffins to the power of simple.

Three ingredients. Three!

  1. Banana nut muffin mix
  2. Milk
  3. Cream cheese frosting

Just mix the muffin mixes up according to package directions – I used the pouches of muffin mix that only call for milk.

Pour it into a 9×9 baking dish prepared with non-stick cooking spray.

Packaged muffin mixes make this 3 Ingredient Banana Nut Muffin Cake so easy to make!

Bake and allow to cool slightly.

You can get fancy and garnish it with fresh banana slices and a few toasted walnuts and no one will believe that this amazing Banana Nut Muffin Cake started from a pouch in your kitchen cabinet!!

And I love how the thin layer of frosting sets and cracks a bit as you dig in … sooooo yummy!
