Honey-Pistachio Banana Bread

This is a recipe I put together after trying out a few different banana bread recipes. It's really easy and really tasty.


Honey-Pistachio Banana Bread

1/3 cup butter, melted
3-4 large super-ripe bananas, mashed
2/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/3 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
About ½ cup chopped (or ground with a mortar & pestle) shelled pistachios

Beat together bananas, butter, honey, vanilla, and egg thoroughly.  Mix dry ingredients (except nuts) in separate bowl and beat into mashed-up mixture. Loosely stir in nuts and pour into greased bread pan. Bake at 350° F for 1 hour. Let cool for about 20-30 minutes before cutting into it.
