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 (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. A 1.5-quart glass dish works well for this recipe.
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, and butter. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
3. Step 3: Add the milk, pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix again until fully incorporated.
4. Step 4: Slowly add the flour and fold it into the batter gently. Make sure there are no clumps of flour remaining. 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.
6. Step 6: Allow the bread to cool completely before serving. Optionally, mix the icing sugar with the 2 tablespoons of milk and drizzle over the top for a sweet glaze.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top before baking.
• Substitute 2% milk with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
• If you prefer a denser texture, reduce the baking powder to 1/2 teaspoon.
• Serve with a spread of cream cheese for a creamy contrast.

Storage

Store the pistachio pudding bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat slices gently in a microwave or toaster oven before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a different pudding flavor?

Yes, you can experiment with other pudding flavors like vanilla or banana, but it will change the overall taste of the bread.

Do I have to use Jell-O pistachio pudding mix?

Using the Jell-O mix adds both flavor and moisture, but you can use other instant pistachio pudding mixes if you prefer. Homemade pistachio pudding can also be tried but may alter the texture slightly.

• Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense bread.
• Check the loaf around 40 minutes to avoid overbaking.
• The icing glaze adds sweetness and moisture; adjust the milk quantity to achieve desired consistency.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
