Pistachio Muffins

Note: I was sent a box of various Bob’s Red Mill products to make the below recipe. Opinions are mine alone.

I love pistachios. So when my friend and I were determining what freezer-friendly recipes to make for a cooking marathon last weekend, I immediately suggested we make pistachio muffins.

Pistachio Muffins

Luckily, my friend was willing to make a batch with me!

Pistachio Muffins

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Bob’s Red Mill sent us a goodie box of ingredients to help with our cooking day, which included their Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour.

Pistachio Muffins

We used a recipe I found on Food.com to make these muffins.

Pistachio Muffins

Ingredients (makes one dozen muffins):

  • 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill unbleached white all-purpose flour)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • the zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Add 12 cupcake liners to your cupcake tin.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, lemon zest, and finely chopped pistachios.

Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and beat together with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, into the butter sugar mixture until light and fluffy.Add vanilla extract and beat to combine.

IMG_9739 IMG_9740

Add roughly 1/3 of the dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Add 1/2 of the milk, again mixing until just combined. Follow with another 1/3 of the dry mixture, the rest of the milk, then the final 1/3 of the dry mixture, beating until just combined after each addition.

Add the batter to the prepared cupcake tin, splitting evenly among all 12 wells.

IMG_9744

Sprinkle with some of the coarsely chopped pistachios.

IMG_9748

Add the muffins to your oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 375 degrees F. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into one of the middle muffins comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pistachio Muffins

The pistachio flavor comes through but is complemented with the spices added in as well. I love the addition of those spices!

Pistachio Muffins

These muffins don’t turn out overly green, but the subtle green hue comes from the finely chopped pistachios, so you can chop those down to essentially a flour in a food processor, if you have it.

Pistachio Muffins

Muffins are also easy to freeze, just add to a zip top bag and lay flat in your freezer until frozen. When ready to eat, remove a muffin and let defrost, about 10-15 minutes.

Pistachio Muffins

My biggest complaint is that we only made a dozen of these; I guess I have to make more!

    These muffins are fantastic! Especially since I added a half ounce of fine cannabis to a double batch. Lots of flavors!! The recipe is great! The lemon zest seems to really bring it all together.

    I had no lemons on hand so I used a spoon of concentrate lemon juice. Also, no cardamom so I used allspice. Last, no whole milk so I used 1%. Regardless, they tasted delicious and they were easy to make. Next time, I’ll add green food coloring just because.
