With a few updates, this easy banana bread recipe is faster and even a little healthier than the classic recipe.

Ingredients

Scale

3 medium-large bananas (the softer/browner the better!)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 large egg

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)

3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set at 350 degrees F. Prepare a loaf pan with butter or baking spray.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a standing mixer or large bowl, beat the bananas (or use a potato masher) until liquified. Some chunks are fine. Add 1 egg and mayonnaise. Beat until combined, about 20 seconds.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Add all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, salt and brown sugar plus chia seeds and mini chocolate chips (if using). Beat until well combined, about 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir as needed.
  4. Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes. OR for faster bread, use a casserole pan or quarter sheet pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.
