How To Make pistachio muffins

  • 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?)
  • 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together pudding mix, flour, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
  • 3
    In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, almond extract, oil and food coloring.
  • 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.
