Pistachio Zucchini Bread 💚🥒
A moist, tender zucchini bread packed with crunchy pistachios and warm spices. Perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or dessert!
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups finely grated zucchini, lightly squeezed
¾ cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
Preheat oven: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Mix wet ingredients: In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
Add zucchini: Stir the grated zucchini into the wet mixture.
Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Don’t overmix.
Add pistachios: Fold in about ½ cup pistachios, reserving the remaining ¼ cup for the top.
Bake: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining pistachios over the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice & serve: Slice once cooled and enjoy!
Optional Pistachio Glaze
½ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
