Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 3.4 oz pkg instant pistachio pudding
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Add the oil, sugar, eggs, extract, and milk to a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything together until evenly combined and frothy.
    1/2 cup canola oil, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup milk
  • To a separate bowl add the flour, pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly combined.
    2 cups flour, 1 3.4 oz pkg instant pistachio pudding, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, whisking just until evenly combined. The batter may be a little lumpy still and that's ok.
  • Add paper liners to the wells of a muffin pan, then fill each with batter 3/4's full.
  • Bake at 425° for 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350° and continue baking for another 11-12 minutes, just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and let the muffins rest for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not over mix the muffins. It's ok if the batter is a little lumpy. Overmixing the muffins will create dense muffins.
  • Make sure to start on the higher heat as directed. This lets the muffins get a nice high rise.
  • Do not overfill the muffin tins past 3/4s of the way full or they will spill over as they bake.
