Prep time: 45 Minutes
Moderately Easy
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
- Line the four mini loaf tins with a small piece of baking paper
- Place the butter into a large bowl with the sugar, beat with an electric whisk for 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one by one, and then drop in the Spice Drops®. Mix again - the mixture may split a little.
- Sift in the flour and bicarbonate of soda. Add the salt. Using a metal tablespoon, mix everything together until all the flour is incorporated.
- Add the mashed bananas and Greek yogurt, mix well again.
- Divide the mixture equally into the four tins. Sprinkle over the chopped pistachio kernels.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the loaves.
- Remove the tins from the oven, leave to cool and then transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.
Notes: you can make this in a large, 1lb loaf tin. Bake for one hour and check that the banana bread is cooked through to the middle.
These will keep well in a tin for up to 3 days.
