You wanna know the best part about this recipe?! It isn't Whole 30.

I do have a confession about this recipe though. I'm not entirely sure I had ever eaten pistachios before this recipe. What have I been doing that I hadn't enjoyed pistachios before now? Apparently living a mediocre life.

Now, I'm a huge believer in pistachios. Besides being delicious and tasty, they're loaded with a ton of vitamins and minerals and are good for the heart. I've been keeping a bag of them in my desk at work and they've become my new go-to afternoon snack.

But on to the real reason you're here: this tasty pistachio coffee cake. If Whole 30 taught me anything, it's that I enjoy a sweet breakfast treat more than I realized. With being paleo, this recipe is loaded with delicious flavors and pistachios without being overly sweet or throwing off your entire healthy day.

This recipe is also incredibly easy to make. Any recipe that allows me to add most ingredients to one bowl to mix is a winner. Your friends and family will thank you the next time you bring this to brunch.
