Since this banana bread recipe begins with a box of cake mix, you can make it yours by switching the yellow cake mix with any other flavor you can find at the store! Strawberry, chocolate, or spice cake mix would be fantastic if you want to get creative.
Tinta Port Wine Banana Bread
The Tinta Port Wine that gives this banana bread a decadent, unique twist comes from Ficklin Vineyards, a family-owned winery in picturesque Yosemite-area Madera County. Add some chocolate chips if you enjoy wine and chocolate, and add chopped walnuts for crunch.

Favorite Kitchen Tools
Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago, we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on, and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then, we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.
Muffin Pan - We use a 12-muffin pan for most recipes.
Bread Loaf Pan - We love making multiple loaves of bread at the same time.
Parchment Paper - I love that I can use parchment paper to help make it easier to remove the bread. They also make clean-up a breeze. If you are not using parchment paper you will want to spray non-stick cooking spray on your baking sheet to help the cookies not stick.
Large Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
Bread Knife - The teeth on the wavy edge of the knife's blade easily slice through foods' crust or skin without tearing the soft inside. Ideal for slicing bread, angel food cake, meatloaf, fruits, and tomatoes
Microwave Silicone cover - I swear by these lid covers to help prevent butter splatters when melting butter in the microwave. I have had way too many butter explosions while baking. These lid covers help keep the butter in the bowl and not on the roof of your microwave.
We also use a stand mixer with dough hooks, a wooden spoon, plastic wrap, cooling rack, Dutch oven, and foil while making bread.
