I've wanted to make pistachio brownies for sooo long.. and since I still have some pistachios from my Honey Roasted Mixed Nuts recipe, I finally made pistachio brownies!
I love how they are super rich, fudgy with a delicious nutty flavor.
Pistachio Brownies
Seriously, these brownies are AMAZING! I like the texture, the flavour, the smell; basically, I LOVE everything about them.
My secret to beautiful, crinkly top brownies is to start by whisking eggs and sugar for 1-2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
I have always loved unique dessert combinations, but adding pistachios to brownie batter takes them to another level.
I like to chop the pistachio coarsely to have some chunks in my brownies.
You'll Need
Here are an overview about the ingredients I used:
- Chocolate: I use high quality dark chocolate.
- Butter: I use unsalted butter. I prefer to use butter over oil when making brownies for a richer flavor.
- Sugar: I use a mix of granulated sugar and light brown sugar.
- Eggs: At room temperature.
- Pistachio: I use unsalted pistachio. Use fresh pistachio; stored pistachio for a long time tends to be bitter.
- All-purpose flour
- Cocoa powder: It is sooo important to use the best quality cocoa powder. It will elevate the taste of your brownies to a whole new level.
Complete information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.
How To Make These Fudgy Brownies
One: Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Two: In a microwave-safe bowl, add dark chocolate and butter and microwave for 10-20 seconds or until melted.
Three: In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar well using an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes.
Four: Mix in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until combined.
Five: Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chopped pistachios. (I like to keep some pistachios to sprinkle on top of the batter).
Tip: Sift the flour and cocoa powder to have a smooth batter.
Six: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, sprinkle the remaining pistachios on top and bake for 30-35 minutes.
Seven: ALLOW TO COOL FOR 10 MINUTES before cutting it and serving.
