A rich, moist, and decadent chocolate brownie baked with a pecan pie filling on top makes the best recipe for pecan pie brownies. A simple and easy recipe that's quick to mix and easy to bake in just 40 minutes.
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Grease the parchment paper lightly with butter or cooking spray.
Make the Brownie Batter: Whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
8 oz Chocolate, 8 oz Unsalted Butter, 1 cup Dark brown sugar, 3 Eggs , ¾ cup All-purpose flour, ⅛ tsp Salt, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly while you prepare the pecan pie topping.
Make the Pecan Pie Topping: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup until the sugar is dissolved. Then whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined. Stir in the chopped pecans until they are evenly coated.
¾ cup Dark brown sugar, ⅓ cup Corn syrup, ⅓ cup Melted butter, 2 large Eggs , ¼ tsp Salt, 7 oz Pecan chopped, 1 tsp Lemon juice, 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
Assemble and Bake: Pour the pecan pie topping over the partially baked brownies, spreading it evenly. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the pecan topping is set and the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
Serve: Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares or bars and serve. These brownies are rich, so smaller squares are often enough. Enjoy as they are, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
