Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 4 drops Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the finely chopped pistachios to evenly distribute them throughout the dry mix.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
If desired, add the green food coloring to the wet ingredients and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
