Ingredients

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix.
  • 1 3/4 cups cake flour / i used all purpose flour and they were still great !
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 - eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon almond extract ~ calls for 1/2 t, but i used 1 teaspoon
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • - couple drops of green food coloring. optional

How To Make pistachio muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees - Spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners. ( I found this temp. way to high! they started to brown way to quickly in my oven. I lowered it to 375, then to 350 degrees. It took a little longer to cook but who cares?)
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together pudding mix, flour, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, almond extract, oil and food coloring.
  • Step 4
    Divide the batter between the muffin cups. (I used jumbo muffin cup and it made 6 large muffins) Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in pan for about 5 minutes and remove to wire rack to cool completely.
