Description

Soft, sweet pistachio quick bread made with cake mix and instant pudding, baked in the air fryer in 25 minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix, yellow cake mix
  • 3.4 ounces instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 drops green food coloring, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, boiling water, oil, and food coloring until no dry streaks remain, about 1 minute.
  • Grease three mini loaf pans well with cooking spray. Divide the batter evenly among them, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Place the pans in the air fryer basket with space between them. Air fry at 320 degrees F for 20 minutes.
  • Insert a toothpick into the center of a loaf. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the bread is done. If not, add 3 to 5 minutes and check again.
  • Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Slice and serve.

Equipment

Notes

  • Mini loaf pans are strongly recommended. Full-size loaf pans frequently leave the center undercooked in an air fryer.
  • Cooking times vary by model. Basket-style and oven-style air fryers heat differently. Start checking at 20 minutes.
  • For a full-size loaf, reduce to 300 degrees F, expect 40+ minutes, and tent with foil once the top browns.
  • To add real pistachios, fold 1/2 cup chopped roasted pistachios into the batter before pouring.
