Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Combine the flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Whisk the sugar and melted butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until they are combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved chopped pistachios.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle the pistachio butter over the top if using.

Notes

For even more pistachio-looking color, add a drop of green food coloring to the batter (optional, for visual appeal).
