Wake up to vibrant Pistachio Lemon Breakfast Bread! This tender loaf blends zesty citrus with nutty crunch for a delightful morning treat. Full instructions and nutrition details await.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 1 ½ cups
  • Granulated sugar: ¾ cup
  • Baking powder: 1 ½ teaspoons
  • Large eggs: 2
  • Whole milk: ½ cup
  • Vegetable oil: ¼ cup
  • Lemon zest: 1 tablespoon (from 1-2 lemons)
  • Chopped pistachios: ½ cup

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until they are well combined and no lumps remain.
  3. Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios.
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Keep your breakfast bread fresh for up to 3-4 days at room temperature in an airtight container, or slice and freeze for longer enjoyment.
  • If you prefer a warm slice, gently reheat individual portions in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, or in a toaster oven until just warm through.
  • This delightful bread is perfect with your morning coffee or tea, perhaps alongside some fresh berries or a light dollop of Greek yogurt.
  • For an extra pop of flavor, lightly toast the chopped pistachios in a dry pan for a few minutes before folding them into the batter.
