- Bake for 50-55 minutes or until baked through. Let cool completely then cut into slices.
Now is when you’ll add some chopped pistachios and chocolate chips. I used semi-sweet for my bread.
Can I Substitute The Pistachios?
Yes, you can use your favorite nut variety. Pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts are also good options.
Give a nice stir.
Time to bake! 350 degrees F. for45-55 minutes, until baked through and golden on top.
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 🙂
It’s great refrigerated too. Enjoy!
What to Serve With Banana Bread
I like to serve this recipe with a nice fruit bowl. Nice and simple.
Tips for Serving Good Banana Bread
Make your bread the night before so you can slice the day of serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container either room temperature or chilled in refrigerator.
