Notes

Nutrition information provided is an estimate and will vary based on cooking methods and brands of ingredients used.
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.
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 of the pan for easy removal.
To Make Muffins divide over 12 muffin wells and bake 14-18 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake.

I wanted to try a new banana bread recipe and when I saw this recipe has mayonnaise in it, I wanted to try it.  (Not that I'm particularly a huge fan of mayo, I was thinking it would make it moist.)  Then I saw that it had a 4.99 star rating  from 1650 votes I for sure wanted to try the recipe.  It did not disappoint.  I got the recipe from spendwithpennies.com found by clicking here
