Ingredients
1 egg
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
PREHEAT oven to 350F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
WHISK egg in a large bowl. Whisk in sugar, mayo, vanilla and bananas until combined.
STIR flours with baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add 3/4 cup walnuts. Fold into banana mixture until no white streaks remain.
SCRAPE into prepared pan and smooth top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts.
