Pistachio brownies

Indulge in the perfect blend of rich, dark chocolate and the unique nuttiness of pistachios with this delectable Pistachio Brownie recipe. These brownies strike the perfect balance between fudgy and crunchy, making for a delightful treat that is sure to impress both family and friends.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
70g
1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 yolk
16g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
40g
1/3 cup pistachio nuts
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, extending it slightly over the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with a bit of butter.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
- In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Melt them together using a double boiler method or by microwaving in short bursts (20-30 seconds), stirring after each burst until smooth and fully melted.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- To the melted butter and chocolate mixture, add the brown sugar and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and the egg yolk, mixing until shiny and fully incorporated.
4. Add Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, gently folding it into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies dense and tough.
5. Incorporate Pistachios:
- Coarsely chop the pistachio nuts and fold them into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.

- Ensure that the butter and chocolate are properly melted and well combined to achieve a smooth mixture.

- Do not overmix the batter once you add the flour; this will help keep the brownies fudgy.

- To enhance the pistachio flavor, you can toast the pistachios lightly before adding them to the batter.

- For easy cutting, let the brownies cool completely before slicing.

Your pistachio brownies are now ready to be enjoyed! Whether warm or at room temperature, these brownies offer a rich chocolaty flavor complemented by the satisfying crunch of pistachios. Perfect for dessert, a snack, or any celebration, these brownies are sure to become a favorite.
