Pecan Pie Brownies Recipe
Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
For the Pecan Pie Topping:
- 1 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. - Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean (it will continue to cook with the topping).
- Prepare the Pecan Pie Topping:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Add the Topping:
- Once the brownies are baked, remove them from the oven and immediately pour the pecan pie mixture over the hot brownies, spreading it evenly.
- Bake Again:
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is set and slightly puffed.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, cut into squares and serve.
Enjoy!
