What You’ll Need

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make pistachio banana bread at home. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for full details.

• Butter– I generally use salted butter for all of my recipes. Unsalted is fine too.
• Sugar– Use granulated sugar that adds just a touch of sweetness.
• Ripe Bananas– Make sure your bananas are brown spotted when making banana bread.
• Eggs– I use large eggs for all of my cooking and baking.
• Pure Vanilla Extract– Use pure vanilla extract for best tasting results.
• All-Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredients in pancakes.
• Baking Soda– Baking soda helps the pancakes rise during cooking.
• Kosher Salt– I generally use kosher salt in my recipes.
• Chocolate Chips– If you can find mini chocolate chips, they work great for the pancakes.
• Pistachios– I like to use a slightly salted pistachio for the recipe.

How To Make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line 1 large loaf/bread pan or 2 small loaf/bread pans with parchment paper.

Cream Butter and Sugars. Cream butter and sugar until well combined.

Wet Ingredients. Add bananas, eggs and vanilla mixing to combine.

Dry Ingredients. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips and pistachios.

Transfer To Loaf Pans. Stir until combined and transfer to loaf/bread pans.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until baked through. Let cool completely then cut into slices.

Can I Substitute The Pistachios?

Yes, you can use your favorite nut variety. Pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts are also good options.

What Kind Of Pan Should I Use?

I like to use loaf pans to make my breads. There are a few different sizes to choose from. You can use a 4 cup, 6 cup, or 8 cup loaf pan. It’s nice to have one small and one large loaf pan for different recipes.

How gorgeous is that?! Let cool and cut into slices. Top with a nice thick layer of butter 🙂

How To Serve

Serve this banana bread warm, room temperature or chilled. Try spreading with butter and honey too. It’s fantastic.
