Make a moist and flavorful pistachio quick bread using pistachio pudding mix for simplicity and texture. This recipe yields a simple loaf perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) white or yellow cake mix
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (for topping, optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and the instant pistachio pudding mix. Whisk them together briefly.
  3. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, cold water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. If using, sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top of the batter.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pistachio bread before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra nutty flavor, toast the chopped pistachios lightly before sprinkling them on top.
  • If you prefer a less sweet bread, you can reduce the glaze amount or omit it entirely.
  • This bread keeps well stored tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to three days.
