Baking a loaf of Homemade Cranberry Pistachio Bread from scratch is the ultimate cozy, comforting treat. This quick bread is bursting with vibrant cranberries, crunchy pistachios, and a hint of vanilla – creating a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup fresh whole cranberries
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3.4 ounce instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

2. 2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.

3. 3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pistachio pudding mix.

4. 4. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

5. 5. Fold in Cranberries and Pistachios: Gently fold in the cranberries and chopped pistachios.

6. 6. Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. 7. Cool & Serve: Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use Fresh Cranberries: Fresh cranberries are the way to go for maximum flavor and texture. Avoid using dried cranberries, as they can make the bread dense and overly sweet.

Don’t Overmix the Batter: Gently fold in the cranberries and pistachios to prevent the bread from becoming tough or dense.

Check for Doneness: Keep a close eye on the bread as it bakes, and use a toothpick to test for doneness. The bread is ready when the toothpick comes out clean.

Let it Cool Completely: Resist the urge to slice into the warm bread. Letting it cool completely on a wire rack will help the texture set and prevent the bread from crumbling.

Experiment with Flavor Variations: Try adding a touch of orange zest or almond extract for a delightful twist on this homemade cranberry pistachio bread recipe.
