Whole Wheat Pistachio Muffins

 Easy and delicious, these muffins hit the spot, and the aroma coming from your 

oven is intoxicating! 

 A trick I like to use: Use a standard ice-cream scooper for muffins. It makes them even and is much easier to control the batter!

Growing up there would often be green pistachio muffins in our kitchen, and they made me happy. So I decided why not make myself happy again with these homemade delicious treats.
