Chocolate and Pistachio Brownies are rich, fudgy brownies enhanced with chopped pistachios for added crunch and a hint of saltiness. A perfect balance of deep cocoa flavor and nutty texture, they’re elegant yet easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped (unsalted preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar (if using), and cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. For clean edges, chill slightly before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Use unsalted roasted pistachios or toast raw ones for added flavor.
  • For extra fudgy brownies, add an extra egg yolk or reduce flour slightly.
  • Let brownies cool completely before slicing for clean edges.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet finish.
