Moist and flavorful Pistachio Banana Muffins topped with a sweet pistachio oatmeal crumble. A cozy muffin recipe perfect for breakfast or snacking. I have been using pistachios in recipes lately. I am so happy that I tried this recipe!

I had a few ripe bananas on my counter and decided to do something a little different than my usual banana bread. These Pistachio Banana Muffins with Pistachio Oatmeal Crumble turned out perfectly soft, sweet, and nutty. The pistachios add a delicate crunch, and the oatmeal crumble gives each muffin a cozy bakery feel. They are the kind of muffins that make your kitchen smell amazing and are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or packing in lunches.
