The Story Behind Pistachio Streusel Muffins
When my husband and I were first married, we had $1k to our name. We packed up our belongings and moved to Austin, Texas for the summer. Our small apartment was furnished with a few rented items. I’m pretty sure we had a bed, couch, table with two chairs, and a dresser. There wasn’t much, but it sure was a fun summer.
Our most beloved treat that we would eat would be pistachio pudding. I would buy a small box of pistachio pudding and over two nights we’d eat the four servings it produced. My husband would always say the pudding would be perfect if it didn’t have the nuts. I always laughed because that’s what helped with the pistachio flavor.
Fast forward too many years, and now we have way better treats in our house at night. I’m glad we don’t have to share a small package of pudding every night. Even though we’ve moved past our pistachio pudding, we still love all things pistachio. However, it’s one flavor I don’t use nearly enough.
Around St. Patrick’s Day, Sprout’s grocery store has some of the most amazing Pistachio Muffins for sale. They are huge and topped with the most amazing crispy streusel. They’re so good that I can’t buy them or else I will eat them all.
I decided to try my hand at making a pistachio muffin and these did not disappoint. With a bowl of fresh pistachio muffins, I attended a meeting and everyone raved about these. The best thing about this recipe is that it is quick and easy enough for anyone to make them. Enjoy baking them!
