Pistachio Banana Bread

A tender, lightly sweet banana bread packed with ripe banana flavor and crunchy pistachios. It comes together in one bowl pair of wet and dry mixtures and bakes into a golden, sliceable loaf.

Prep: 15 min · Cook: 55 min · Yield: 10 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 3 large bananas
• 2 large eggs
• 0.333 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup pistachios

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment, leaving an overhang for lifting. (about 5 min) — 350°F
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Whisk in the eggs, oil, and sugar until evenly combined. (about 5 min)
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir just until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the pistachios without overmixing. (about 3 min)
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until the loaf is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 50 to 60 minutes. (about 55 min) — 350°F
5. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift the loaf onto a rack and cool completely before slicing. (about 30 min)
