  1. Jane I think it is worth a try. I would choose the size of Sugar-free pudding that is the closest equivalent to the small pudding box.

  2. Can you make it with sugar free cake mix and sugar free pudding? If so, it called for the 3.4oz for the pudding but the SF boxes I’ve seen 1oz 2.1oz 1.5oz .9oz 1.4oz. I wasn’t sure which oz to use.

  3. I was wondering if this recipe uses the cake mix size now, or before they changed the size. +

  4. Hi Larry, I think this will work the pan should be about 1/2 to 2/3 full. If you have extra you could make a few muffins.

  5. Hi…I have 2 loaf pans . Each is 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches. Will they be big enough for this recipe, or do the pans need to be bigger? The recipe is Cake Mix Banana Bread.
