  • Pistachio instant pudding mix
  • Eggs
  • Vegetable oil
  • Water
  • Sour cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Melted butter

PISTACHIO LOAF TIPS

  • For those who really love pistachios, consider adding extra chopped pistachios into the batter and on top of the bread!
  • For an even more vibrant green bread, try adding a few drops of green food coloring!
  • This pistachio bread is a great gift for family, friends, and teachers, especially when made into mini loaves and wrapped with some decorative bows!
  • To make sure the bread is fully baked, poke the bread with a toothpick and make sure there’s no batter residue.
  • If you don’t have sour cream, greek yogurt can be used in place of it in this recipe.
