Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan; set aside.

Step 2

Whisk butter and sugar together for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Whisk in mayo, vanilla and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Add bananas to a separate bowl then mash using the back of a fork (small lumps are OK but we’re looking for a pretty wet mash).

Step 5

Whisk mashed bananas into batter.

Step 6

OPTIONAL STEP: Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Sometimes I get little white nuggets of flour and/or baking soda in the bread if I don’t sift it but it’s completely optional.

Step 7

Stir in flour, salt and baking soda until just combined.

Step 8

Pour batter into prepared pan then bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 9

Cool banana bread completely in the pan before turning out.
