Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9” x 5” loaf pan and line with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the pistachios until coarsely chopped. Remove two tablespoons of the coarsely chopped pistachios and set aside, then pulse the remaining cup of pistachios until finely ground.
  • Add the sugar, lemon zest, and salt, and pulse until combined, then add the eggs and process until smooth.
  • With the food processor still running, slowly stream in the olive oil and milk. Finally, add the flour and baking powder and process just until the flour has disappeared.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle reserved coarsely chopped pistachios down the center of the loaf. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden-brown and firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from the pan.

Notes

Tip: Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal. This will help keep your pistachio bread from falling apart and makes for easy cleanup - win, win!
