Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, pistachios, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, vegetable oil, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let your bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over cooled bread.
