- 2 boxes 3.4 oz instant pistachio pudding mix
- ½-1 cup chopped pistachios
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions
Pistachio Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pistachio pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and sour cream. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Fold in ½-1 cup chopped nuts (pistachios, pecans, or walnuts).
- In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and sugar. Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans, then evenly coat the bottoms and sides of each pan with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Add the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaves, then sprinkle with ¼ to ½ cup chopped pistachios. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
