Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2/3 cup 2% milk
• 1 package Jell-O pistachio pudding mix
• 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 2 tbsp 2% milk

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 1.5-quart loaf pan or similar size glass baking dish.
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, and butter. Mix well until smooth.
3. Step 3: Add the milk, pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir until fully incorporated.
4. Step 4: Gradually add the flour, folding gently until the batter is smooth and free of flour lumps. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
5. Step 5: Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, toast the chopped pistachios lightly before adding them to the batter or as a topping.
• You can substitute whole milk for 2% milk if preferred; it will make the bread a bit richer.

• If you want a more decadent treat, swirl some cream cheese into the batter before baking.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven and prepare the loaf pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart loaf pan, such as a Pyrex glass dish, to prevent sticking.
2. Mix sugar, eggs, and butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, two large eggs, and unsalted butter. Beat thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.
3. Add wet and dry ingredients: Stir in the 2% milk, pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Mix until all are evenly incorporated.
4. Incorporate the flour: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, blending the batter gently until it’s smooth and free of flour lumps. Finally, fold in the chopped pistachios for texture and flavor.
5. Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it’s fully baked.
6. Cool and glaze: Allow the loaf to cool completely in the pan. Mix the icing sugar with 2 tablespoons of 2% milk to create a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread before serving.
7. Serve and enjoy: Slice the Pistachio Pudding Bread and serve as a delightful breakfast treat or dessert.

Notes

• Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure the bread stays light and tender.
• You can substitute 2% milk with whole milk for a richer texture or a non-dairy milk alternative if preferred.
• Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and sliding off.
• Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
• Chopped pistachios can be toasted lightly before adding for an enhanced nutty flavor.
