Description
Decadent Pistachio Brownies are a rich and delightful dessert that combines the flavors of chocolate and pistachios for a unique treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Allow to cool slightly before adding the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped pistachios and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter.
- You can substitute walnuts or almonds for the pistachios if desired.
- For a fun twist, top the brownies with a drizzle of melted white chocolate before serving.
