  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  4. Add in pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, salt and milk. Mix until combined.
  5. Add in flour until it is well incorperated with ingredients.
  6. Using an ice cream scoop, or a tablespoon sized spoon, (batter will be on the thicker side) divide batter amongst each muffin cup (making either 12 standard size muffins or 6 jumbo muffins).
  7. Sprinkle with sugar sprinkles (optional).
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 7 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and bake for an additional 10 minutes. *see recipe notes*
  9. Let cool on cooling rack, enjoy!

Notes

I made my muffins jumbo size. I used a 6 muffin tin and jumbo size paper liners.
If you are using standard size muffin tin (12 muffins) bake time would be 7 minutes at 425 degrees, then additional 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
If you are using jumbo size pan, bake for 7 minutes at 425 degrees, and additional 12 minutes at 350 degrees.
Always use the toothpick trick. Insert a toothpick in the middle of largest muffin to make sure it comes out clean or crumbly, not wet and sticky!
