Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and lightly coat the liners with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, 1/2 cup of the chopped pistachios, ground pistachios, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until thoroughly combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Using a spatula, gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly acceptable. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops of each muffin generously with the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back lightly when touched. Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even browning. (15-18 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, lightly toast the chopped pistachios before adding them to the batter and sprinkling on top.
Ensure your butter is cooled slightly after melting to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed.
These muffins are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
For a beautiful presentation, reserve some extra chopped pistachios to sprinkle on the muffins after they've cooled slightly.
