Pistachio Delight Nut Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.33 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 unit zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Carefully fold the chopped pistachios into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once done, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
