Description
Chewy, golden Easy Pistachio Blondies made with nutty brown butter, rich pistachio cream, and melty chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup pistachio cream, plus more for swirling on top
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
- 1/3 cup chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir as it melts and begins to foam. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden and small brown bits form on the bottom, giving off a nutty aroma, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl. Let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes until warm but not hot.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the brown butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Stir the pistachio cream into the batter until evenly blended.
- Gently mix in the flour and salt just until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line or lightly grease an 8×8-inch light-colored baking pan. Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
- Spoon small dollops of pistachio cream over the surface and lightly swirl with a knife. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips and pistachios on top if desired. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set but still soft.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing for clean, even squares.
