Healthy Banana Pista bread


Banana Pista bread - it happens when you discover you're out of walnuts midway through making the batter!

Ingredients

Atta - 1 cup
Manna Health Mix - 1/4 cup
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Eggs - 2
Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp
Butter (unsalted) - 1/2 cup
sugar - 1 cup (you can use a mix of white and brown sugar)
Bananas - 3 ( really ripe and about to die:)
Pista nuts - cut into small bits (should I say - Pistachio nuts) - 1/2 cup
Milk - 1 or 1/2 cup depending on consistency of batter


Pre-heat oven to 178 C. Sift flour, salt and baking soda together. Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Whisk egg, vanilla and bananas - I used a juicer jar. Mix butter-cream mixture with egg mixture and gradually add to flour, incorporating it fully. Add nuts. Add milk to bring batter to thick, pouring consistency.
Grease a loaf pan with butter.
Pour batter into pan and bake for 40 mts.
Enjoy!

* It pays to know your oven as well as your 'avan' - my bread got a little scorched to one side!
