Description
A decadent dessert that combines the fudgy richness of brownies with the buttery, nutty crunch of classic pecan pie, creating an irresistible treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 batch of your favorite brownie batter (about 1 1/2 cups batter)
1 cup pecans, chopped
3 large eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9-inch pie dish with parchment paper.
- Pour the brownie batter evenly into the pie dish, spreading it smoothly. Sprinkle half of the chopped pecans over the batter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Carefully pour the pecan pie filling over the brownie batter layer, then sprinkle the remaining pecans evenly on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden and bubbly. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. For best results, chill for an hour to allow the layers to set firmly.
Notes
You can substitute corn syrup with honey or maple syrup in equal amounts.
Using boxed brownie mix works perfectly and saves time.
Try variations like walnuts or almonds instead of pecans.
Adding cinnamon or espresso powder to the brownie batter can deepen flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze wrapped tightly for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
