Product Information

Pistachios are part of the cashew family. They are thought to originate from Iran but are currently cultivated in many hot climates across the globe. They grow in shells, which you split open to get the nut from inside. Combine wet and dry: Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Add in the chopped pistachios and mix. If you want to add some of the nuts on top of muffins, leave out 1 tablespoon of them. Stir by hand, being careful not to overmix.

Use a blender if you don’t have a food processor. One of the reasons I love this bread is that everything is made in the bowl of the food processor, so you don’t have to chop the nuts using a cutting board; use a bowl for the wet ingredients and another for the dry ingredients. The same idea applies to a blender, but you may need to stop and scrape down the sides more often, and as mentioned above, you might have a hard time getting the pistachios broken up. Sprinkle pistachios on top: Sprinkle extra chopped pistachios on top of the muffins before baking for an extra crunch and flavor.Fill the cups: Divide batter evenly into muffin tray, filling up to the top. Sprinkle the muffin tops with sugar (and the rest of the chopped pistachios if desired). Although Gambrinus’ version includes a sort of icing on top of the zeppola before piping the cream. There are many ways that you can get this done but you will want to exercise a fair bit of caution to make sure that you don’t damage any kitchen equipment or yourself. Baking Powder: Use fresh baking powder for the best results. If you don’t have baking powder, substitute it with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar.

Oil: Use a neutral oil. The recipe calls for vegetable oil, but you can substitute vegetable oil with any neutral-flavored oil like canola or grapeseed oil. But, if you’re in a hurry and don’t want to dirty too many mixing bowls (this is me all the time), you can make this pistachio muffin batter by dumping all the ingredients in one mixing bowl and blending them all. Measure ingredients accurately: Accurate measuring is critical to baking success. Measure your dry and wet ingredients precisely with measuring cups and spoons. Ng AL, Leung HH, Kawasaki R, et al.

Vanilla extract can be swapped for vanilla powder or vanilla sugar. Add it with the sugar and butter if using a liquid product, otherwise with the dry ingredients.Vanilla: Vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract is recommended for the best flavor. You can also use almond extract or citrus zest for a different flavor profile. Let the hazelnuts cool down a bit, and then rub off most of the brown skin (don't worry if you can't get it all off). Finely chop half the nuts, and roughly chop the other half. Set aside. Dry Ingredients: Flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt make up your dry mixture. You can use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a little more depth of flavor with the molasses. All muffins freeze really well. I like to wrap each individually in plastic wrap to guard against freezer burn and then place the wrapped muffins in a sealed container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
