Make this soft, nutty pistachio bread loaf. It uses simple ingredients to create a moist crumb perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shelled, chopped pistachios (for batter)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and the instant pistachio pudding mix.
  3. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and water to the dry ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Beat the batter on medium speed for two minutes. Fold in the 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios using a spatula.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios immediately after glazing.
  10. Slice and serve the pistachio bread.

Notes

  • For a sweeter, bakery-style finish, use the glaze while the bread is still slightly warm.
  • You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor profile.
  • If you do not have pistachio pudding mix, you can use a standard quick bread recipe base and add 1 cup of finely ground pistachios and green food coloring for color.
