How to Make Green Pistachio Muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin well with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios.
  5. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon rum extract.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  10. Sprinkle the tops with 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pistachios.
  11. Immediately reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
