    This pistachio muffin recipe has a similar soft and fluffy texture like my bakery style chocolate chip muffins. The pistachio flavor from the pudding mix is delicious and adds a delightful green color tint that would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day!

    ingredients

    You can find a full recipe card with ingredients and amounts required at the bottom of this page. I've listed a few specific notes about ingredients below.

    • eggs - use large eggs at room temperate. Take them out of the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before you start the recipe.
    • vanilla extract - use pure vanilla extract for ultimate flavor. You can also use artificial vanilla extract as well.
    • pistachio jello instant pudding mix - you can find this at your local grocery store!
    • coarse sugar
    • Greek yogurt - use your favorite brand of full fat Greek Yogurt.

    step by step instructions

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a jumbo muffin tin. Grease the top of the muffin tin as well. This will stop the muffin tops from sticking to the top of the pan.

    Dry ingredients in mixing bowl with whisk.

    In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, pudding mix and sugar.

    Eggs, butter, milk, yogurt and vanilla in mixing bowl.
