Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 package 3.4 oz pistachio pudding mix
- ⅓ cup milk
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped pistachios for topping
Instructions
- To begin, set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it's all set when you’re ready to bake. Take your muffin tin and place paper liners in each cup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pistachio pudding mix by whisking them together.
- Next, in another bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract. Keep going until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and gently fold everything together.
- Use either a spatula or a wooden spoon. Take it easy while mixing, you don’t want to overdo it!
- Use a spoon to fill your muffin tin with batter, then sprinkle chopped pistachios on top of each muffin. This not only makes them look fancy but also adds a delightful crunch.
- Bake your muffins for 20 minutes. Watch closely as they bake, the tops should be firm, lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for around 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool down fully.
Notes
- Ovens vary, so keep an eye on your muffins during the final minutes of baking.
- If you want your muffins to stay fresh a little longer, the fridge is your friend! Just place them in an airtight container or a zip-top bag to keep them from drying out. They’ll stay delicious for about a week.
- In the Freezer: Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap, Then, transfer them into a freezer-safe bag. They’ll maintain their freshness for up to two months.
