Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup ground pistachios (finely chopped)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped pistachios, for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.

        Add Eggs and Flavoring: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.

          Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

            Fill the Muffin Tins: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

              Top with Pistachios: Sprinkle the tops of each muffin with the chopped pistachios for an added crunch and flavor.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Enjoy your pistachio muffins warm or at room temperature with coffee, tea, or your favorite spread.
