Would you eat banana bread made with mayonnaise?

[moonpie89]

I'm making banana bread !

Apparently the butter can be replaced with 1/2 cup mayonnaise. I never tried this, but I read it in a recipe and the author swears by it.

Yes

No

I was a chef, and worked in both restaurants and a bakery.

Mayonnaise is simply whipped egg and oil, so if you would eat banana bread made with eggs and oil, then there should be no problem eating that same banana bread made with mayonnaise. One could argue that mayonnaise would be even better since it is whipped/aerated there could be an enhanced flavor and/or texture.

The wikipedia entry on mayo.

Fun fact: "Aioli is more or less just a fancy word for mayonnaise. Restaurants often use it instead of saying "mayo", to please customers more.

I haven't tried it.

I semi-melt the butter in the microwave, then use the butter covered paper wrapping to coat the pan. I like the buttery crust. Not sure how mayo will work but maybe I'll try it sometime.

This is the recipe I use. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/banana-bread-recipe-1969572 I've tried a few different ones and I like this the best. I use a little more cinnamon and sugar than it calls for.

I wouldn't eat it. Mayonnaise has a very different taste compared to butter and you might not like it which would lead to a wasted batch of banana bread. If you really want to then you can go for it but I recommend making a really small batch.

[WhitneySnow]

No. That sounds gross plus I really don’t like mayonnaise that much.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Before answering this question I tried out a small experiment..

I dipped a banana in a small amount of butter and tried it out.. THEN mayonnaise and repeated..

My conclusions were they BOTH made me feel queasy, so by that logic, if you can use it with butter and make it taste nice, then you can also do it with mayonnaise!

Good luck.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah I would, it can be used for a few things.

i do my toasties in my hot plate / grill thing by putting mayonnaise on both outside slices.

[20yearsolder]

Absolutely, all it is is oil and eggs whipped up together

[Whatever2929292]

You might as well make it you might like it. If it does not turn out then you know better next time. I would at least try it once

[LiamSawyer]

Sure no problem, mayonnaise is basically just oil and eggs.

[Ninania]

Banana bread made with additional egg yolks and vegetable oil? Yeah, easily.

[XXblack88]

Yeah I would. It doesn't give the bread a weird taste

[Staximus]

That's too much mayonnaise, it's going to taste like eggs and vinegar

[Pudsmucker]

I love banana bread and I love mayonnaise. Sounds good to me

[Jerre]

I love Banana Bread, but Mayo just doesn’t sound good

[SpaceGalaxy]

I have tried it and it tastes 1000 times better than when made with butter! Love it

[Sour-rose]

Bruh, I'm trying to have dinner hea'

[Lyndsielee666]

My love for mayo says yes

[Deku2009]

Yeah I am open to try it.

[TallAnon]

I would at least try it!

[Xtendable]

I voted B - that sounds so wrong

[Raphaëlle]

Sounds interesting.

[JakeS00]

It’s good!

[CloudMassacre]

[Iron_Man]
