I discovered the most amazing and EASIEST Banana Bread ever. If you love to bake something up for gift giving, this is it! It really is the moistest, most delicious banana bread I’ve ever had. One bite, and you’ll just melt.
And, you’ll never guess the secret ingredient to make this such a delicious banana bread! It’s Miracle Whip! Can you believe it? Me neither! Who knew Miracle Whip could make banana bread truly amazing. You can find the recipe HERE

I saw this recipe and had to try it, but I didn’t have any Miracle Whip. I did have bananas that were perfectly ripened for banana bread, and I didn’t want them to go to waste. So, I braved the holiday shopping at Walmart because I just had to make it. My husband is a HUGE banana bread lover, so I wanted him to try it and see if he could identify the secret ingredient.
Let’s just say he melted into a puddle while he was eating a slice of this for the first time, and he had no clue what made it so good. He said it was the most delicious banana bread. He and Miss Em practically finished off an entire loaf by themselves as soon as it was cool enough to slice.

This recipe is so simple to make. You don’t even need a mixer. The hardest part is mashing the bananas. Just mash the bananas, mix with Miracle Whip and an egg. Then, just throw the rest of the ingredients into the bowl and mix just until moistened. Then, pour it all into a loaf pan and bake for about an hour. Simple, right? Check out just how simple it is:
Mine took exactly 1 hour to bake and came out gorgeous. Â Serve this up at your next holiday party. Everyone will absolutely love it, and no one will believe the secret ingredient!

Oooo I love this! What an easy and yummy way to make banana bread dairy free. I have a BUNCH (ha, no pun intended) of bananas that need a new purpose, and I think I just found it!
This is fantastic! We are huge banana bread eaters in my family so we will have to try this! Thanks for braving uncharted territory for us!
You had me at easy. I like easy recipes. It means I can make a bunch of them and freeze them. Nothing like pulling out some banana bread to enjoy without the effort of baking it 😉
Looks delicious! I have bananas going bad on my counter right now, I need to make banana bread.
I love how few ingredients this banana bread has! Bet the mayo really does add lots of flavor!
Merry Christmas!

That is a gorgeous loaf of banana bread. It ALMOST looks too pretty to eat.
Oh how I love banana bread! This recipe sounds like a must-try.
That looks so good! Who would have thought that Miracle Whip would be the secret ingredient!!
I HEART BANANA BREAD! Never would have thought to put Miracle Whip in it…I admit, I hate the stuff. But I’m pretty sure it would be undetectable mixed in with bananas and walnuts. YUM!
