Pistachio Banana bread

I so love anything pistachio.... so I thought what the heck why not make pistachio banana bread....This recipe is super easy to throw together... if you don't like pistachio leave out the almond extract & pistachio pudding mix & use vanilla pudding and vanilla extract for the pistachio...or you can use chocolate pudding mix and vanilla for the flavorings...lots of options to make what you like...all kinds of varieties.......I also used sugar free pudding mix (cause it's what I had on hand) if you have regular use that... **NOTE**  I put 4 small bananas but put what you have...if you only have a couple use them.....Enjoy
