• 100g salted roasted
pistachios + optional
50g extra for toppings
and decoration (I really
like using the salted kind
for this recipe because
the sweetness of the
brownies and saltiness of
the nuts really go together
– you may use unsalted
pistachios but then add
some salt to the batter)
• 2 organic eggs
• 200g granulated sugar
• 50g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 100g unsalted melted
butter
• 100g melted dark
chocolate
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Prepare a small tin and spray with some oil or butter.
3. In a small bowl, add the melted butter to the melted chocolate
and mix.
4. Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract and sugar, then in another bowl
add all the dry ingredients.
5. Make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients and add in the
wet ingredients.
6. Add in the pistachios last then stir the mixture using a spatula.
7. Pour the batter in the tin and add a few pistachios on top.
8. Bake for around 30-35 minutes. (I used a very small tin so baking
time took longer)
9. Let cool completely before taking out of the tin or they will
crack!
10. To eat later – store them in the fridge then pop in the microwave
for a couple of seconds. Add some ice-cream and enjoy!
11. You can also freeze these for up to one month.
