PECAN PIE BROWNIES



Pecan Pie Brownies image

If you're into cakey brownies, these are not the treats for you. In fact, everything about these brownies is gooey, moist, and rich-a truly decadent affair for chocolate lovers and pecan pie lovers alike. Made by baking a sheet of thick chocolatey brownies and then adding a layer of pecan pie filling spiked with a touch of bourbon, these brownies pack a lot of flavor into each bite. The two layers intermingle into squares of dense chocolate, crunchy pecan, and syrupy pecan pie filling. The brownie batter itself is made by melting chocolate chips in warm butter before whisking in sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Equal parts of cocoa and flour are then added to this liquid mixture to make a brownie batter that's amazingly rich in chocolate flavor.Most brownies are not made from a base of melted chocolate, but this secret is what keeps the brownies moist, dense, and chocolatey. While the brownies are in the oven, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, melted butter, and bourbon to simulate the flavor of a pecan pie. Instead of an actual pecan pie filling that requires a long time to set in the oven, this filling is an amalgamation of ingredients modified to bake into a sliceable layer in just 25 minutes. Stir pecans into the liquid filling, and pour it over the brownie base. Then, bake it until the two distinct layers have melded into one sheet of decadent pecan pie brownies.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon bourbon (optional)
3 cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9- x- 13-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Make Brownie Batter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high. When butter begins to boil, remove from heat and add chocolate chips, stirring once to coat. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before whisking together until fully combined. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Add chocolate mixture and whisk to combine. Sift cocoa powder and flour into wet ingredients and gently stir until fully incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Make Pecan Pie Topping: While brownies are baking, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, and melted butter until everything is well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Stir in pecans and set aside.
  • Once the brownies are baked through, pour the pecan mixture overtop the brownies and spread evenly with a spoon. Return to the oven until the Pecan Pie Topping is set, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

PECAN PIE BROWNIES



Pecan Pie Brownies image

A fudgy and decadent chocolate brownie topped with a sweet and crunchy layer of pecan pie is a match made in heaven. To ensure the layers stay distinct when these two classic desserts come together, the brownie is baked first then the nut filling is layered over it and baked again. In the oven, the syrup seeps into the brownies, keeping them moist and rich. Try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Time 4h30m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso, optional
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon bourbon, optional
3 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • For the brownie layer: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, baking powder and espresso powder, if using. Beat on medium-low speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until mostly dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the melted butter mixture to the bowl and mix on medium-low speed until the batter is smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and carefully add the flour and chocolate chips, mixing until the flour is fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the brownie layer is cooked through, 32 to 34 minutes.
  • For the pecan layer: While the brownie layer is baking, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, eggs and bourbon, if using, in a medium bowl until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Add the pecans and stir until the nuts are completely coated.
  • Gently pour the pecan mixture over the baked brownie, using a spoon or small offset spatula to carefully spread all the way to the edges. Bake until the pecan pie layer is golden, set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, about 3 hours, before slicing into 9 squares.

GEORGIA PECAN BROWNIES



Georgia Pecan Brownies image

For the most part, Mama has always made everything from scratch. Homemade cakes, cookies, and pies were the norm, but she would open one box when she made brownies. My father worked for a company that made, among myriad other things, brownie mix. I remember opening the Christmas gifts from corporate friends that contained a potpourri of company products, including the familiar red box-the brownie mix. Perhaps one of the reasons I am so fond of these brownies is that they represent my first solo forays into baking. Other than turning on the oven, I was allowed to prepare the brownies all by myself.

Yield makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
12 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or pan with butter.
  • In a saucepan, melt the 1 cup of butter over medium heat; add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Keep warm.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter mixture and stir to combine. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, chocolate, and nuts. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the ingredients are combined (the batter should be very thick). Alternatively, you can mix the batter in a heavy-duty mixer. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  • Bake until set, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool. Cut into pieces and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
