Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Cream softened butter and white sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then add sour cream and blend until smooth.
  4. Whisk together flour, pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients, alternating with mashed ripe bananas. Mix until just combined.

  7. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and gentle mixing to avoid a dense texture. Chopped pistachios on top add a nice crunch and visual appeal.
