Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup Pistachios, shelled and finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Chopped pistachios for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the muffin cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, finely chopped pistachios, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 4

Add the beaten eggs, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter to the mashed bananas, and stir well until all ingredients are combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top of each muffin for added crunch.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the muffins from the tin to the rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy the sugar-free pistachio muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
