Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Place cupcake liners in a cupcake tin, using every other opening.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pudding mix, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, melted butter, sour cream, milk, vanilla, and almond extracts until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
Cover the batter with a towel while preheating the oven.
Divide the batter among the cupcake liners, filling them to the very top.
Sprinkle crushed pistachios and sanding sugar on top of each muffin.
Bake for 7 minutes at 425 degrees, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees without opening the oven.
Continue baking for an additional 14-17 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove the muffins and cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees again for the remaining muffins, using the same method.

Notes

Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
Feel free to add extra crushed pistachios on top for a crunchier texture.
Keep leftover muffins in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
