Pecan Brownies
Rich chocolaty Pecan Brownies are fudgy and packed full of nuts. If you love chocolate, you'll love the dark and bittersweet combination.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup cold butter (cut into chunks)
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (chopped)
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
- 11/4 cups flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 11/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 11/2 cups pecans (toasted and chopped )
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Butter and line a 9 inch pan with parchment paper.
- Put both chocolates and butter into a microwave dish and microwave on 50% power for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until just melted. Stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth. Add the chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the dry ingredients, folding until well combined. Fold in 1 cup of the toasted pecans and scrape into prepared pan, smoothing with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of pecans over the top.
- Bake until the top looks dry and a skewer inserted into the brownies comes out mostly clean with a small streak of batter, about 38-40 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and cool on a wire rack for about an hour before removing from the pan.
