Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pistachios, ensuring even distribution.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!

Storage/Reheating

To store these blondies, simply place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. If you need to store them for longer, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving to get the best flavor and texture.

For reheating, I like to pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just enough to soften them slightly and make the white chocolate chips a bit gooey again.

FAQs

How do I know when the blondies are done baking?

I always check by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter, they are done.

Can I make these blondies without pistachios?

Yes, you can easily swap the pistachios for another nut, like almonds or walnuts, or even omit them entirely if you prefer a plain version.

Can I use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate?

While the recipe calls for white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips can be used for a different flavor profile, though the blondies will have a more chocolate-forward taste.

Can I freeze these blondies?

Absolutely! I recommend cutting them into squares, wrapping them in plastic wrap, and placing them in a freezer-safe bag. They will keep for up to 2-3 months. Just let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

What can I serve with these blondies?

These blondies are delicious on their own, but I love pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra special treat!

Conclusion

These White Chocolate and Pistachio Blondies are a fantastic dessert that satisfies both your sweet tooth and your craving for a little crunch. With a simple recipe that comes together quickly, they’re perfect for almost any occasion. I’m sure you’ll enjoy making (and eating) them as much as I do!
