My love for muffins started when I was a kid. My mom made the best muffins in the world and most of the time I would help her out in preparing the trays. I learnt how to make muffins from a young age and over the years I have baked thousands of muffins for my family and guests. I believe muffins are the best dessert one can have after a meal. They are better than cakes and confectionaries and you can alter the ingredients to suit your taste as well.
In order to make perfect muffins, you don’t need to be a pastry chef. Muffins are easy to make and they require just the basic ingredients. You can never go wrong when making muffins provided you don’t keep them in the oven longer than required. You also don’t need to rely on a different plan in case something goes wrong because if you get the ingredients right, you will get perfect muffins in no time.
Our pistachio muffins are filled with chocolate hearts and they are absolutely fantastic and delicious. There are many reasons you will love these muffins. Firstly, they are easy to make. You don’t need lots of mixing bowls or time consuming steps to prepare them. This means you are not left with a dirty and messy kitchen afterwards. Secondly, delicious muffins which are handmade make a great snack. Whether you have visitors coming over, kids going to school or you are planning a road trip, muffins are the perfect snack to pack. You also don’t need plates and cutlery to enjoy them wherever you are.
Pastries with a chocolate centre are popular among children as well as adults. These deliciously yummy pistachio muffins are even great for parties. While they are easy to make, they are easy to serve as well. Even if you want to throw in few extra ingredients, you don’t have to worry because they will work great with your muffin. The best thing is that you can try with a little amount of batter first before making large batches. This way, you don’t waste ingredients and prepare the best muffins in budget.
