Ingredients

  • 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
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, chopped pistachios, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the vegetable oil, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • 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 into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and sprinkle with additional chopped pistachios.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
  • The glaze is optional, but it adds an extra burst of lemon flavor!
