How to Make Moist Pistachio Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Stir in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes until golden brown.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
Once the bread is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
Serve with a side of whipped cream for an extra treat!
