Stovetop Banana Chocolate Chip Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 large skillet with lid
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas mashed (the browner, the better – we want drama, not green banana sass)
- 1 box yellow cake mix because homemade is overrated today
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (butter makes everything better, don't fight it)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or just dump the whole bag—we don’t judge
Instructions
- Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray (aka your cake insurance).
- Spread those overly ripe bananas evenly in the skillet. Mash them like they owe you money.
- Sprinkle the cake mix on top. No stirring! We’re classy, not fussy.
- Drizzle the melted butter like a pastry Picasso.
- Top with chocolate chips. Be generous; it’s your dessert destiny.
- Cover the skillet, turn the heat to medium-low, and let the magic happen for 20-25 minutes. Resist the urge to peek every five seconds.
- Cool slightly before serving, or dive in like the dessert diva you are.

Diva's Terrific Tweaks
Peanut Butter Twist:
Plop some peanut butter on top of the bananas before the cake mix. Think Elvis, but fancy.
Cinnamon Flavor:
Add 1 teaaspoon of cinnamon to the bananas. Boom, instant cozy vibes!
Nutty Addition:
Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans on top for crunch. Fancy-schmancy!
Presentation Suggestions:
Serve directly from the skillet for that rustic, “just whipped this up” vibe—bonus points if you add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Garnish with a few extra chocolate chips or a sprinkle of chopped nuts to make it look like you really tried (we won’t tell).
