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.
