Starbucks just launched a pistachio loaf… so I had to make a better one🍫💚

Описание: Better Than Starbucks? 👀 This Chocolate Pistachio Loaf is rich, moist, and packed with REAL pistachio flavor — no artificial taste here.

When Starbucks launched their pistachio loaf, I knew I had to create my own version… but better. This homemade loaf has a deep chocolate swirl, a soft bakery-style crumb, and a naturally nutty pistachio flavor that makes every bite incredible.

If you love coffee shop treats but want something fresher and more flavorful, this recipe is for you.

RECIPE

Ingredients

For the Loaf
• ¾ cup (160g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 ⅓ cups (270g) cane or granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp (225g) all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup (75g) pistachio flour
• 3 tsp (18g) baking powder
• ⅛ tsp salt
• ⅓ cup (75g) buttermilk (or sour cream)
• 5 tbsp (75g) pistachio cream

Chocolate Batter
• 350 g prepared batter
• 3 tbsp (15-20g) cocoa powder

Optional
• Green food coloring (dye-free if preferred) to enhance the pistachio color

Topping
• 3 tbsp (25g) chopped pistachios
• 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

1️⃣ Melt the Butter
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs.

2️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3️⃣ Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, pistachio flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined.

Fold in the buttermilk and pistachio cream until the batter is smooth.

4️⃣ Create the Chocolate Batter
Weigh out 350g of the batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa powder until fully combined.

(Optional: add a small amount of green coloring to the pistachio batter for a more vibrant loaf.)

5️⃣ Assemble the Loaf
Pour alternating layers of pistachio and chocolate batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together — avoid over-swirling.

Sprinkle chopped pistachios and sugar on top.

6️⃣ Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 320°F (160°C) and continue baking for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.

7️⃣ Cool
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.

Finish by drizzling pistachio cream over the loaf and topping with roughly chopped pistachios for crunch and a beautiful bakery-style look.
