Mayonnaise Banana Bread – Easy, Delicious Recipe

This Mayonnaise Banana Bread is so easy and so good! Another great way to enjoy bananas.

Why Mayonnaise is Great in Banana Bread

Each time we post a bread recipe that is made with mayonnaise, we get a few comments from people who don’t think it would be very good. Please remember that mayonnaise is made with oil and eggs, which is what most recipes call for when you are making a cake, etc. This bread is wonderful and super moist. It’s a great way to make banana bread.

Can This Bread Be Made in Advance?

Yes, you can make this bread in advance. I think it is better the next day. It’s gets more moist each day and the flavor is wonderful. Make this bread for breakfast with coffee or brunch! It’s a great dessert too.

Can I Double This Recipe? Can I Freeze it?

Yes to both, you can easily double this recipe and make two loaves. This is a great recipe to give as a gift, make a loaf for you and give one away. This bread can be fozen too!

Swaps and Additions

We use Duke’s mayonnaise and that is our favorite brand. Any will work, and no, we have never used Miracle Whip, it’s a totally different product. You can add chocolate chips, raisins, spices, different nuts, or leave them out altogether.
