Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pistachio pudding mix, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, milk (or water), and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in chopped pistachios or walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar if desired.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once fully cooled, drizzle with glaze if desired.
