Ingredients
Scale
For Pistachio Pudding Bread:
- 1 box pistachio pudding mix (instant)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup chopped pistachios (optional, for added texture)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the pistachio pudding mix and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Fold in Pistachios: Gently fold chopped pistachios into the batter if using.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor: Add a teaspoon of pistachio extract to intensify the pistachio flavor.
- For a twist: Try adding chocolate chips or dried fruit like cranberries for an added layer of flavor.
- Storing: This bread stays fresh at room temperature for up to 3 days or can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
