Servings: persons

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2
Prepare the muffin tins by greasing them well.
3
Combine the dry ingredients including the zest and finely chopped pistachios in a large bowl.
4
Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat the eggs, one at a time, into the creamed mixture until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and rum extracts.
5
Starting with about 1/4 of the dry mixture, alternately add part of the dry ingredients and the milk, briefly mixing after each addition. Do not over-mix the batter.
6
Scoop the batter into the prepared tins. Sprinkle the tops with the coarsely chopped pistachios.
7
Place the muffins in the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 375 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes or until the muffins test done.
8
After the muffins have cooled for five minutes, remove them from the tins to cool on a wire rack.

Baker's Note: It's the finely chopped pistachios that give the muffin a green hue. We used a nut chopper to chop ours finely. You can also chop them in a food processor.
