Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy & Moist Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a medium bowl until smooth, aiming for about 1 cup mashed.
  3. Add mayonnaise and room temperature egg to the mashed bananas, whisk gently until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together, and add pecans if using.
  5. Gently fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
