Best 4 Pistachio Muffins Recipes

PISTACHIO MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Lightly spray liners and pan with cooking spray.
• Stir flour, sugar, brown sugar, ground pistachio nuts, 1/2 cup chopped pistachio nuts, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Make a well in the center.
• Whisk together milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract together in a bowl. Pour milk mixture into the well of the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula just until batter is combined but a few lumps remain; do not overmix.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Sprinkle remaining chopped pistachios on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

CRANBERRY-PISTACHIO OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
• Combine rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
• Combine applesauce, milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract in another bowl; whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour into dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
• Scoop batter into prepared muffin tin almost to the top. Top with pistachios and cranberries.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

PISTACHIO YOGURT MUFFINS

Steps:

• If hydrating dried lemon zest, mix with 1 1/2 teaspoons water in a small bowl and let sit for 15 minutes, then put aside with the other wet ingredients.
• Divide the pistachios by taking 1/2 cup and running through a food processor fitted with a very sharp metal blade until they are practically powder (or ARE powder.) I found that the shredder blade was actually better for this than the traditional swivel blade. Put the powder/near-powder aside with the dry ingredients.
• Run the remaining 1/2 cup of pistachios through a rough chop in the food processor, then put aside for now.
• Line a Texas Muffin pan with 6 liners.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, pistachio powder, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.
• In another bowl, mix remaining wet ingredients together with a whisk.
• Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and whisk until just combined and there are no more dry spots but don't overmix.
• Whisk in the rough-chopped pistachios.
• Add green food dye now, about 6 drops, if you want the muffins to look bright green.
• Fill each muffin paper about halfway or a little less.
• Bake 25-30 minutes at 350F or until browned on top.

PISTACHIO MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees - Spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners. ( I found this temp. way to high! they started to brown way to quickly in my oven. I lowered it to 375, then to 350 degrees. It took a little longer to cook but who cares?)
• 2. In a large bowl, whisk together pudding mix, flour, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
• 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, almond extract, oil and food coloring.
• 4. Divide the batter between the muffin cups. (I used jumbo muffin cup and it made 6 large muffins) Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in pan for about 5 minutes and remove to wire rack to cool completely.
