Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 3.4 ounces pistachio instant pudding mix
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the optional green food coloring if desired.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure light and tender muffins.
Fold in the chopped pistachios and pistachio pudding mix, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious pistachio muffins!
