MAYONNAISE BANANA BREAD
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.

So deliciously moist easy to make. This has been my go to recipe for several years now.
I made this recipe and another one I found on the internet last night. I actually felt weird not putting butter in the mix, but this recipe REALLY came out amazing! It was SO moist and flavorful, I forgot it didn’t have butter. This is going to be my go-to banana bread recipe from now on!
Yay! We’re thrilled you enjoyed it!
