These pistachio muffins are delicious and fairly easy to make. I used pistachio-flavored pudding and topped them with a little sugar and crushed up pistachios, and they turned out great. If you wanted, you could definitely toss some pistachio pieces in the batter as well.
While the granulated sugar turned out great. I personally prefer using a more coarse sugar. It makes the tops of the pistachio muffins a bit crunhier with a sweeter flavor🤩.
