Pistachio Muffins in Air Fryer are those single-portion treats that everyone agrees on, no matter how you prepare them. Convenient and easy to carry, I always bring them with me to the office for a mid-morning snack. A pantry sweet with a delicious and rustic taste due to the soft and crunchy contrast given by the pistachio inserted in the dough, partly ground into flour and partly coarsely crumbled.
Muffins can be prepared in various ways: with Nutella, with yogurt and chocolate chips, swirled with Coconut and Cocoa and even Sweet Zucchini, all simple and quick preparations to make.
To prepare Pistachio Muffins, you only need a few ingredients, which are mixed in a bowl, and once again, the cooking in the Air Fryer turned out perfect, and like all the desserts I prepare in the fryer, they can be baked in a traditional oven. Perfect for breakfast, snack, and after pasta, perhaps accompanied by a pistachio or hazelnut cream.

Variations and Tips for Pistachio Muffins in Air Fryer
Pistachio Muffins can be prepared with both Greek yogurt and regular yogurt, either non-fat or whole, plain, the important thing is that it is at room temperature as I wrote in the ingredient section and in the preparation steps, for a successful muffin. You can replace the pistachio with walnuts or hazelnuts.
They can be stored in an airtight container for several days. If you want to make more, just double the doses.

Pistachio Muffins can be baked in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20/25 minutes, adjust with your oven and always do the toothpick test
