Ingredients
Scale
Blondie Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Nut Mix
- 3/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar until well mixed. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can affect texture.
- Add Pistachios: Fold in most of the chopped pistachios into the batter, reserving some to sprinkle on top for an attractive finish.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved pistachios evenly over the top.
- Bake Blondies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not raw batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving, which helps them set and improves their texture.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can lightly toast the pistachios before folding them into the batter.
- Make sure not to overbake; blondies should remain moist and chewy, not dry.
- These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to substitute part of the sugar with brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
