Fluffy, nutty pistachio muffins speckled with mini chocolate chips. These Chocolate Chip Pistachio Muffins are reminiscent of a tall and perfectly domed bakery-style muffin, full of real pistachio flavor.
0 Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two 12-count muffin pans with cupcake or muffin liners, skipping every other tin. Set aside.
1 Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachios, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cooled melted butter, sour cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
2 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine the mixture with a rubber spatula, until mostly combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
3 Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tins using a cookie scoop, filling the liners about ¾ full. Sprinkle the reserved pistachios and mini chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
4 Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425°F. Leave the muffins in the oven and reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 15-17 minutes. The muffins should bake for a total of 20-22 minutes.
5 Allow muffins to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
