Ingredients

• 75 grams unsalted pistachios
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 150 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
• 120 grams unsweetened applesauce
• 60 grams honey
• 1 large egg
• 120 milliliters almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly spray with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are finely ground, but be careful not to over-process into a paste.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, applesauce, honey, egg, almond milk, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter as this can make the muffins tough.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your low fat pistachio muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
