Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate
  • 115g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar (or a mix of brown and granulated sugar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Chop the pecans into bite-sized pieces, then toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant to enhance their flavor and crunch.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, gently melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy, forming the creamy base for the brownies.
  3. Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar (and granulated sugar if using) with the eggs until pale and slightly fluffy. This aerates the batter for a tender bite.
  4. Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixtures: Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring continuously to prevent cooking the eggs, until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients and Pecans: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold together until just combined, then fold in the toasted pecans evenly.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes. Edges should be set while the center remains fudgy when tested with a toothpick.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy, not tough.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Check for doneness a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid overbaking.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and neat edges.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
