Thank you for sharing a delicious, not-too-sweet pistachio muffin recipe! A colleague suggested I try baking something with pistachios, so I’m glad I found your website and recipe. Like another reviewer mentioned, I prefer that there wasn’t pistachio pudding since so many recipes online required it.
The texture and flavor of these muffins were great, even though I could only find roasted and salted pistachios. Thank you for the organized, well-outlined steps!

Hello,
I am very new at baking and decided to give these a go. Of course mine didn’t turn out as great as I would have liked (this is due to my inexperience, not your recipe) but I decided to add raspberries to mine and thought it really added something to it. Just wanted to share.. more practice for me!

Made these today for breakfast, and I really liked that they did NOT use instant pudding mix!! I prefer using as little processed food as possible, and these were a nice use of leftover pistachios (I had made a pistachio challah two days ago).
Was thinking about variations on flavor though. Have you considered using honey and either rose or orange water? It may give a flavor similar to baklava….

Hi, Cheryl– thanks so much for your feedback! I don’t think I can personally tell whether I roasted them or purchased them already roasted. But I do know that roasted vs unroasted makes a big difference for sure! I’m so glad you enjoy these muffins 🙂

I added some dark chocolate chips to the nuts on top. I also had roasted unsalted pistachios that worked fine. I am curious if you can taste a big difference roasting the nuts yourself?

Either way, yummy! Will make again. Someone on Reddit posted this recipe and added powdered sugar sprinkled in top. That is something I will try next time!

In reply to Lucy Sim Conway.

This is in response to Lucy’s question – after filling the muffins cups, I add a small spoonful of pistachio cream to the top and use a toothpick to swirl it around a little bit (I also top with a pistachio streusel bc I’m pistachio obsessed). It makes a nice extra pop of flavor to the muffins. My family loves this recipe! 🙂

In reply to Pat Mole. Hi, Pat-- you pull the shell apart where it's broken open.

In reply to Barbara. Hi, Barbara-- I've never tried it, and in theory it should work, but I can't know for sure. Let me know if you try it!
