Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
• 0.75 cups Unshelled pistachios, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 1.5 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease six mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the mixture, and mix until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the finely chopped pistachios and milk until the batter is evenly mixed.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 9

Bake the mini loaves in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

While the loaves cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 1.5 tablespoons of milk until smooth.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaves, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios for garnish.

Step 13

Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your pistachio mini loaves!
