Zucchini Pistachio Cherry Quick Bread With Cream Cheese Glaze Recipes

PISTACHIO ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and line with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dry pudding mix; set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and lemon color. Stir in the vanilla and oil. Last, stir in the shredded zucchini and pistachios.
• Then, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined. The batter will be a weird green color, but it won't look like that after baking.
• Divide batter between the two prepared loaf pans. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The center will most likely sink, but that's okay.
• Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove loaves from pans and cool completely. Slice each loaf into ten slices and serve.
