Ingredients
All-purpose flour: 1 and 3/4 cups
Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
Baking soda: 1/2 teaspoon
Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Unsalted butter (melted): 1/2 cup
Eggs: 2 large
Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
Light brown sugar: 1/4 cup
Milk: 1/2 cup
Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Almond extract: 1/2 teaspoon
Chopped pistachios: 1/2 cup
Pistachio pudding mix (optional): 1/4 cup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and stir until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in chopped pistachios and optional pistachio pudding mix.
Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top of the batter before baking.
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
