I don't find a lot of pistachio recipes so I wanna give this one a try. I'm bookmarking it. Thanks!


I am not only a pistachio "freak" but also love to make muffins! She shoots, she scores! Five for you, j. Thanks for the post,

Love pistachios - this is a great way to incorporate them into the diet! These sound delish - will make a batch next time I have pistachios in the pantry (soon, I hope!)...Krum


Thank-you,I will keep this one in mind to make around St.Patirick's Day,always try to use pistachios in some of my baked goods then.

Kind Regards


Okay, jmatt! Made these for the Recipe Swap, and let me first and foremost say, they tasted fantastic! They taste like a quick bread, yet the texture is so much better...like a muffin, who knew. ;) The ONLY problem I had was most certainly operator error...they caved in....I think my nuts were too heavy! ;) Doesn't change my rating, but does mean my photo isn't the quality I'm used to...so, I'll post it cus it's the first, but PLEASE replace it as soon as another comes in, and we'll move it down to 'step by step'. :) I WILL be makin' these again...they are my kinda breakfast.


Saw this in the "I made this" group. They sound divine with all the great spices going on! bookmarked and will try soon!
