Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise or dressing
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Mash the bananas with a fork. In a medium bowl, mix together mashed bananas, mayo, and egg. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and pecans.

  • Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Note: The mixture will be very thick, do not overmix.

  • Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  • Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • To ripen bananas quickly, bake at 300°F for 15-20 minutes. Cool before using.

  • Avoid adding extra bananas; this can make the bread too dense. You should have about 1 cup of mashed bananas—slightly more or less is fine.

  • As with all quick breads, do not overmix. Stir just until incorporated.

  • Check your bread at least 10 minutes before the bake time is up.

  • Line the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving about 3 inches of paper folded over the top for easy removal.

  • To make muffins: Divide the batter into 12 muffin wells and bake for 14-18 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake.
