Optional green food coloring and whole pistachios are added at the end to give that signature pistachio color. This Easy Pistachio Bread Recipe will be your favorite dessert this March!

What Are the Health Benefits of Pistachios?
Pistachios are an excellent source of healthy fats needed in your diet, including vitamin B6. They promote weight loss, lower cholesterol, and can help improve eyesight. Pistachios promote healthy gut bacteria and aid in digestion. Most importantly, they are one of the tastiest nuts out there! This simple cake displays the pistachios so nicely, and the cake has that signature hue of green.
