# Chocolate Brownies with Pistachios & Orange

Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies flavoured with fresh orange zest and studded with crunchy pistachios. Finish them with a layer of chocolate ganache for an extra indulgent treat.

## Ingredients

### Brownies

* ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
* 1 cup (200 g) sugar
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 2 eggs
* ⅓ cup (about 30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
* ¼ tsp salt
* ¼ tsp baking powder
* ½ cup (about 63 g) all-purpose flour
* 1–2 tbsp finely grated orange zest
* ½ cup chopped pistachios or walnuts

### For the topping

* Chocolate ganache, as needed

## Method

1. **Prepare the oven and pan**
   Preheat the oven to **325–350°F (165–175°C)**. Grease and line a brownie pan with parchment paper.

2. **Combine the butter and sugar**
   Add the melted, cooled butter and sugar to a bowl and blend until well combined.

3. **Add the eggs**
   Add the eggs and mix well.

4. **Combine the dry ingredients**
   Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Add the salt.

5. **Make the brownie batter**
   Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

6. **Add the flavourings**
   Mix in the vanilla extract and orange zest.

7. **Add the nuts**
   Fold in the chopped pistachios or walnuts.

8. **Bake**
   Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for **20–25 minutes**, or until the brownies are set.

9. **Cool and finish**
   Allow the brownies to cool completely. Spread chocolate ganache over the top.

10. **Cut and serve**
    Cut into squares and serve.

### Tips

* Don't overbake if you want a fudgy brownie.
* Freshly grated orange zest gives the best flavour.
* Pistachios add a lovely contrast to the rich chocolate, but walnuts work beautifully too.
