White Chocolate Muffins with a Pistachio Glaze

These white chocolate muffins are a wonderful sweet breakfast treat, tea time snack, and even dessert. 

These muffins are filled with finely chopped white chocolate and the resulting flavor is clearly white chocolate. It's so intriguing. 

There is a full candy bar-sized amount of white chocolate these 10 little muffins. 

I topped these muffins with a powdered sugar glaze flavored with vanilla and a drop of pistacchio flavoring (a little bit goes a long way) and topped them with a little bit of chopped pistacchios. 

You definitely can can top these muffins with other glazes such as a walnut cinnamon streusel, a citrusy glaze, or a chocolate glaze. 

You could also stud the top of the muffins with a few white or dark chocolate chips. 

This recipe makes just 10 small muffins. I used an ice cream scoop to portion the thick batter into the muffin cups. To prevent the portioned batter to be lopsided, hold the scoop directly over the muffin cup upside down, and then pull the level. You will have a perfect mound that you won't have to adjust. 

You can also make these muffins in advance.  Just bake them, cool them, wrap them individually and then place them in a freezer bag and freeze them. 

When you are ready to serve the muffins, thaw them, still wrapped, at room temperature, and then glaze the muffins about 30 minutes before serving. 

One way to enjoy these for breakfast or tea is to split them and spread them with some raspberry jam, or if it's near the holidays, a little leftover cranberry sauce. Trust me, white chocolate and cranberry sauce go so well together!
