Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 0.25 cup extra pistachios for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the edges. If desired, sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top for extra crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy these rich, nutty brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
