Culinary creativity on TikTok
TikTok creator shereshe explores the world of extraordinary recipes from different countries by asking people about their culinary secrets and trying them out for herself.
In one of her most recent posts, she shares creative uses for mayo, including an easy banana bread recipe.
Both she and her followers are enthusiastic about the idea, as numerous comments show:
“It's the eggs in the mayo that make it so fluffy.
Also great for jaffles 😍”
“I put mayo in my banana bread and it turns out so moist and delicious.”
“But joking aside: Mayo in cakes as an egg/oil replacement is great!”
Why mayo in banana bread?
The addition of mayonnaise may seem unconventional at first, but it is the key to a particularly juicy and surprisingly tasty result.
Mayo is an excellent binding agent and contains oil and egg, which not only gives the banana bread a creamy consistency but also adds moisture and flavor.
The mild taste of the mayo harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the bananas without being overwhelming.
