These Raspberry Pistachio Muffins are perfect for special occasions or just a weekend breakfast treat. Plus, they're really easy to make. You'll have them in the oven in no time at all!
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line 12 standard muffin cups.
Whisk or stir together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center.
In a separate bowl, combine the butter, milk, eggs, and almond extract. Pour into the well in the flour mixture. Stir just until combined or a few streaks of flour remain.
Gently stir in the raspberries and pistachios.
Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, using about 3 tablespoons of batter to fill each cup 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with more pistachios and a pinch or two of sanding sugar.
Bake 14 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are browned and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the muffins in the pan on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes. Then transfer the muffins from the pan to a rack to continue cooling.
