Tips to Make the BEST Banana Bread:

• Use mayonnaise and egg at room temperature.
• Don’t overmix the batter to prevent your banana bread from being too dense.

You can store leftover banana bread with mayo for 2-3 days at room temperature or for 4-5 days in the refrigerator. Just place banana bread slices in an airtight container or use a plastic zipper bag.
