As it turns out, it is easy being green. These matcha muffins with pistachio are a breeze to make for breakfast or a healthy, pick-me-up snack. The nutty crunch of the pistachios baked on top compliments the soft, fluffy texture as well as the color. Moistened with apple sauce and made sweet with maple syrup, they’re nutrient dense, delightful and just darn pretty!
