Sweet Banana Nut Bread With Mayo
My tips for making banana bread that is moist and sweet with a powdered sugar glaze.
Ingredients
Bread Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas mashed,I use a fork
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 egg well beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts chopped
Glaze Ingredients
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Bread
- In a medium size bowl combine mashed bananas, mayo, egg, and vanilla flavoring.
- In a two-cup measuring cup, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir thoroughly. Add the nuts and stir.
- Spray two loaf pans with a light coating of cooking oil.
- Pour banana bread mixture into the loaf pans (or two pans roughly the size of loaf pans) and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Cooking times will vary with ovens and the size of your baking pans. The banana bread is done whenever a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean.
Glaze
- Combine powdered sugar and milk in a bowl or measuring cup and mix together.
- Microwave the glaze for 10 to 15 seconds and stir.
- While the bread is hot from the oven use a toothpick to poke holes all over the bread.
- Spoon the glaze over the baked bread slowly so it has time to soak into the bread.
