Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the mayonnaise, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until combined.

- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
