Description
Moist, high protein pistachio banana bread with white chocolate. It delivers nutty pistachio flavor in every slice and bakes well for clean slicing.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter cooled slightly
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener or sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios plus extra for topping
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup pistachio spread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas. Whisk in yogurt, egg, melted butter, milk, sweetener, and vanilla flavoring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the pistachio spread on top and swirl gently with a knife.
- Add remaining batter. Repeat with the remaining pistachio spread. Sprinkle extra pistachios on top.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Cover loosely with foil during the final 15 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
