Pistachio muffins with flavorful orange zest and meaty pistachios! This pistachio muffin recipe is the perfect family recipe for your weekends!

Ingredients

Scale

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened)

2/3 cup low-fat milk

Zest and juice of one medium orange

1/2 cup pistachio nuts, chopped (additional for topping optional)

Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it, then set aside.

    1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, ground cardamom, baking powder, and salt.

    1. Mix wet ingredients: Beat the egg in another large bowl, then add the milk, oil or butter, orange zest and juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.

    1. Combine: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until combined. Don’t overmix—the batter should be a little lumpy.

    1. Add the pistachio nuts and stir to combine.

    1. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Top with additional pistachio nuts, optional.

    1. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    1. Cool: Let the muffins cool, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
