These friands are the perfect afternoon snack or dessert. They're not too sweet, and the pistachio and chocolate flavors are a nice change from the usual chocolate chip cookie.

These friands are a great way to use up leftover pistachios. I had a bag of pistachios that was about to go stale, and these friands were the perfect way to use them up.

I love that these friands are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a little healthier than traditional friands.

These pistachio chocolate friands were a delight! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the pistachio and chocolate flavors were perfectly balanced. I used a mini muffin pan, and they baked up beautifully in just 15 minutes.
