Step By Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin pan with baking spray or line it with muffin liners. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of table salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom, 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. In a separate mixing bowl, combine 8 tablespoons of melted and cooled butter, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, and 2 cups of sour cream. Mix until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with the pistachios and mix until no dry flour pockets remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter, making tough and dense muffins. The batter will be lumpy and thick. Using an ice cream or muffin scoop, spoon the batter evenly among the pan wells, filling each well about 3/4 full. Then sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top of each batter-filled section. Bake the pistachio muffins for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until a cake inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. If you plan to serve your muffins warm, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving, or to serve cooled, place them on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delightful, moist and tender Pistachio Muffins! Freezing Instructions: Place the muffins in an airtight, freezer-safe container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.When ready to enjoy them, thaw them at room temperature or microwave them for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.
