Prep: 10 minutes minutes
Cook: 1 hour hour 10 minutes minutes
Total: 1 hour hour 20 minutes minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted salted shelled pistachios
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into chunks
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk oat or whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a standard loaf pan with parchment.
Pulse the pistachios and sugar in a food processor until finely powdered.
Add the butter in chunks and pulse until incorporated, then pulse in the eggs, milk, and vanilla.
Add the baking powder, coconut flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and cornstarch; pulse until incorporated.
Transfer the batter to the lined loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour, or up to 1 hour 10 minutes, until the center is no longer jiggly.
Cool the loaf, remove it gently from the pan, and slice. For especially clean slices, chill it first and return it to room temperature before serving.
