Greenies are a play on Brownies and Blondies. They are made using pistachios that you've pulverized in the food processor and the batter has a few drops green food coloring added to enhance its slightly green color. I originally saw this recipe months ago on The Crepes of Wrath. Sydney actually called them White Chocolate Marshmallow Pistachio Brownies. Is there anything in that name that wouldn't propel you to give them a try ASAP? I don't know what took me so long but I'm happy Jalen and I took the time to make them. Besides saying they were moist and tender, it's hard to describe their taste and texture properly, so, I won't. Hopefully, my photos will encourage you to give them a try! I didn't add the green food coloring so they aren't very green.
I almost forgot to tell you. The pistachios I used were from Oh,Nuts that I received free from them several months ago. I never opened the package and had them stored in the freezer!

YUM!!! I love pistachios and blondies! I'll have to give this a try!
And, yep... that was my hubby commenting! He doesn't get much internet time where he is, but he checks when he can. :)
You can see how moist these are! No they don't need any green food coloring , they look great just the way they are!
Those look so good! What a great adaptation of a blondie!
great name, and great use for pistachios! they're such a marvelous nut, and it's a shame they aren't used more often! :)
Greenies! I love the idea! I've never actually baked with pistachios before, but this recipe might be the change to that!
hmmm. I will take one of those with my tea. I just love pistachios! Honestly, I think they are my favorite nut!
They look yummy! And so moist. I have a whole bunch of pistachios leftover, I overbought for Christmas baking, these are a perfectly delicious way I could use them up!
Yum! Pistachio is a wonderful twist for these buttery squares.
I store my nuts in the freezer, too...and forget about them, too. ; )
I like the sound of greenies!
