Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

To prepare the crumble topping, mix the light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, softened butter, and roughly chopped pistachios in a small bowl using a fork until the mixture forms a crumbly consistency.

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffin batter in each cup.

Step 9

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