Description
Pistachio Butter Blondies are soft, chewy dessert bars with a rich nutty flavor and caramel-like sweetness from brown sugar. They’re simple to prepare and perfect for gatherings, potlucks, or a cozy snack with tea or coffee.
Ingredients
1 cup pistachio butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the pistachio butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, if using.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set but slightly soft.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Swirl melted white chocolate on top before baking for a decorative finish.
Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the batter for extra crunch.
Drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze for added sweetness.
Double the recipe for a 9×13-inch pan, adjusting baking time slightly.
