Pistachios are a type of nut that comes from the pistachio plant. They are very rich in protein and fiber. They are also high in potassium and magnesium. They are often used in baking or cooking.
These raspberry pistachio gluten-free muffins are so delicious, and they are a perfect snack or breakfast treat.
This is an easy muffin recipe - whisk dry ingredients, beat sugar, butter, eggs, and extracts. The extra steps here will be grinding the pistachios, which takes seconds. The same applies to the streusel, where you’ll just need to pulse the pistachios first.

Pistachio and Raspberry Muffin Making Tips
Muffin recipes need to be mixed separately, and not over mixed. This ensures that the batter doesn't get too thin or too thick.
Raspberries should be added to the muffin batter last because if frozen, they tend to sink to the bottom of the muffin. To prevent this, coat the berries in flour before adding to the batter. Stir lightly through the batter.
Don't overfill the muffin tray - fill your muffin cups 3 quarters full to prevent the mixture from spilling over when baking. Toppings - Add some crushed pistachios and the streusel mixture to the top before cooking - the pistachios will cook into the tops.

Choosing the Right Ingredients
Pistachio nuts are delicious. You should buy them unsalted because you can control the amount of salt in your cupcakes.
The gluten-free flour I used is Cup4Cup. You can get it at Target or on Amazon (linked below).
Baking
Don't overbake your muffins, this results in them becoming dry. Cook them just until a toothpick comes out clean or with only a few crumbs.
Tips and Tricks
Don't over mix the batter! Mix just enough to combine everything. Too much mixing makes the muffins tough. I also use muffin tins. They make any cleanup much easier.
