The pistachio brownies are the pistachio variant of the famous chocolate treats typical of Anglo-Saxon culture. Instead of dark chocolate, a pistachio spread is used, making this dessert truly irresistible. The recipe is very simple and requires very few steps.

Pistachio Brownies Recipe
Disclaimer: the “Tools” section contains affiliate links.
Start the preparation of the pistachio brownies by weighing the pistachio spread into a bowl and adding the sugar. Mix the two ingredients using a spatula.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix well until you get a sandy mixture.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on a stovetop and let it cool slightly.
Add two medium-sized eggs and the cooled melted butter to the ingredients you have worked so far. Mix with the spatula until you obtain a smooth and lump-free batter.
Transfer the batter into a pan (mine is a 20cm (8″) square) lined with parchment paper or greased with butter or a baking spray. Level with a spatula and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes.
Let the pistachio brownies cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting them into squares with a smooth-bladed knife.
