Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup salted butter in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power in 20-second increments until fully melted.
  3. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the melted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined, about 1 minute. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then mix until just incorporated.
  4. Add in 3.4 ounce package pistachio instant pudding mix, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk. Mix to combine. Add in 2 cups all-purpose flourand mix until flour has been incorporated. The batter will be thick.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the tops with 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  6. Bake for 7 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 10 more minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the muffin tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Want to add a nutty crunch? Once the batter is finished, fold in 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios, salted or unsalted.
  • This batter will be thick, which will create that perfect dense and moist bakery-style muffin.
  • Use sugar crystals to sprinkle on top instead of granulated sugar to make them fancy.
  • For Mini Muffins: Bake at a consistent 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes. For Jumbo Muffin Pans: Start at 425°F for the first 7 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 18-22 minutes.
