  3. Add flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and spices. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to combine until a smooth batter forms. Fold in chopped pistachios.

  5. Bake for 20 min. or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are good!). Allow cooling in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

  6. While the muffins are cooling, prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and non-dairy milk until creamy. Drizzle over muffin while slightly warm and enjoy!
