Recipe Card
ingredients
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 6 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 tablespoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups banana, overripe mashed (from about 3 large bananas)
- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cups chopped pistachios
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and generously spray an 8 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle the bottom and all sides with granulated sugar, and shake out any excess. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and butter until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and mashed banana and mix until combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients into the wet in three additions, mixing well between each addition, and reserve about 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture. Toss the chopped pistachios in the reserved flour, and fold into the batter.
Step 4
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a tooth-pick comes out clean. Cool and enjoy!
