Pistachio Blondies Recipe
These Pistachio Blondies are chewy, buttery bars studded with crunchy, vibrant pistachios and optionally white chocolate chips for extra sweetness. Perfectly baked to a golden top with a slightly gooey center, they offer a deliciously nutty twist on classic blondies that’s both visually appealing and satisfyingly rich.

Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- Optional: 1/4 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Melt the butter: Start by melting your butter and letting it cool slightly. This creates the base for that irresistibly chewy texture.
- Whisk the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until glossy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and thick.
- Add the dry ingredients: Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt using a spatula. Don’t overmix—just stir until no streaks of flour remain.
- Stir in the pistachios: Fold in the chopped pistachios (and white chocolate chips, if using). The green specks add beautiful color and texture to every bar.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 22–26 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean (center should be slightly gooey).
- Cool and slice: Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing. They firm up as they cool, making slicing easier.
Notes
- Do not overmix once the flour is added to avoid tough blondies.
- Use parchment paper in the baking pan for easy removal and clean-up.
- For an extra rich flavor, try adding white chocolate chips but this is optional.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely to achieve the best texture for slicing.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
