Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  • Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and combine them with a wire whisk.
  • Zest the two lemons over the bowl of the dry ingredients using a lemon zester, then add the roughly chopped pistachios and whisk the mixture into the bowl with the other dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, milk, lemon juice and oil and whisk them together with a fork. Dump this into the dry ingredients and combine the wet and the dry ingredients together gently with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to over mix! Stop combining as soon as you see the flour disappear.
  • Divide the thick batter evenly between 18 muffin cups lined with paper liners. Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 19-22 minutes or until the tops begin to brown just slightly and the muffins spring back when you touch them gently.
  • While the lemon pistachio muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze by adding the powdered sugar and lemon juice to a small bowl and whisking until smooth.
  • When the muffins are completely cool, drizzle a small amount of the glaze over each muffin, sprinkle some chopped pistachios over the top, and serve!
