Bake this simple, moist pistachio quick bread using pudding mix for flavor and texture. Top it with a sweet almond glaze for a perfect afternoon coffee treat or breakfast bread.

Ingredients

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

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 pistachio pudding mix, yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Gently fold in the 1 cup of chopped pistachios.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  8. Drizzle the almond glaze over the cooled pistachio bread. Sprinkle with extra chopped pistachios immediately after glazing.
  9. Slice and serve this easy pistachio bread recipe.

Notes

  • For an extra moist loaf, you can substitute the water with an equal amount of milk.
  • If you do not have pistachio pudding mix, you can use vanilla pudding mix and increase the amount of chopped pistachios slightly.
  • This bread is excellent for brunch or as a simple pistachio dessert bread.
