This version of banana bread is on a whole other level. The pistachio and white chocolate help to elevate this classic treat and turn it into something amazing! The flavors pair so nicely together adding layers of crunch and sweet, creamy white chocolate.
Anyone who knows me knows that baking is not my strong suit. I’d prefer to cook a side dish or main course over dessert anyway, but when there are ripe bananas on my countertops my mind instantly goes towards banana bread.
I tried my best to lighten up this banana bread without skimping on flavor. Instead of sugar to sweeten I chose to use a thick, sweet maple syrup. In place of butter I opted for a coconut oil. In terms of flours, I prefer to use a gluten-free flour, however, you could use regular all-purpose flour if that’s what you have on hand.
On top of this banana bread being delicious it is also super easy to make. Requiring little prep time, the majority of the cooking process is spent with the bread in the oven and you peering in, drooling, waiting for it to be finished.
