Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (toasted if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbling and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey; whisk until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  7. Once cooled slightly, cut into squares or bars and enjoy!
