Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk Can use homemade buttermilk by mixing 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 tablespoon vinegar.
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
Sugars
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
Nutty Addition
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios Chopped or whole, based on preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly or using parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another large mixing bowl, blend the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs and beat well until fluffy.
  4. Gradually add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined.
Baking
  1. Carefully fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
  2. Gently fold in the shelled pistachios.
  3. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Once baked, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter for a light and fluffy bread. Can store for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
