Green Pistachio Muffin Recipe Ingredients

• 1 box of instant pistachio pudding (3.4-ounce package)
• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cups granulated sugar
• ½ cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Dash of sea salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• Food coloring (optional)
• ½ teaspoon almond extract (can use vanilla extract)

Topping

• AA Coarse Sugar (optional, but gives a good sweet flavor.)

Directions for this fabulous Green Pistachio Muffin Recipe

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare muffin pan.  I use the liners, because it’s easier, less messy, and makes them easier to store.
• In a large mixing bowl mix all the dry ingredients – pudding, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
• In a different mixing bowl mix all the wet ingredients, medium mix eggs, almond extract, milk, and oil. Do not add food coloring yet
• Combine wet and dry ingredients, and add 2 drops of food coloring.  Add 2 more drops at a time until you get the desired color.
• Cover using AA Coarse Sugar I personally like to use a lot, it gives everything a really nice flavor and makes the top of the muffin a little crunchy which I like.
• Fill the muffin cups and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until toothpick done.
• Allow to cool and enjoy.

Another topping choice:

• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• ¼ sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon pistachio flavor

Directions

• After your muffins are cooked use a pastry brush to paint on the muffin topping.  Allow to cool, and enjoy!
