Oatmeal Coconut Banana Chip Cake

I like cake mix redo recipes. It is great to bake from scratch but we all have those days when the faster we can get something done, the better it is for our tempers and sanity. This is a good example and is open to variations.

Oatmeal Coconut Banana Chip Cake
1/2 stick butter
1 container prepared coconut pecan frosting
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
2 very ripe bananas
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 box yellow cake mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Vegetable oil spray either a Bundt pan or a 10-inch tube cake pan.

In a cooking pot, melt the butter and stir in the frosting mix. Add the oats until the mixture becomes crumbly. In a large mixing bowl, place the sour cream, eggs, bananas, vanilla, and cinnamon. Blend until very smooth. Beat in the cake mix and stir in the chocolate chips.

In the prepared cake pan of your choice, spread about 1/3rd of the batter. Sprinkle in 1/3rd of the crumb mixture. Repeat   ending with crumbs on top.

Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted towards the middle of the cake comes out clean of moist crumbs/batter. Cool for approximately 20 minutes before turning out of the pan onto
a serving plate.

Ideas . . .
Adding 1/2 cup of ground nuts would make it a bit denser but tasty.
Butterscotch chips instead of chocolate?
Try this with a chocolate or spice cake mix?
