Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box Brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
Pecan Pie Topping
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Make brownie batter. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions, combining all required ingredients. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Prepare pecan pie filling. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, packed brown sugar, all-purpose flour, light corn syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the chopped pecans thoroughly.
- Assemble the layers. Carefully spoon the pecan pie mixture over the uncooked brownie batter in the pan, spreading it evenly for uniform coverage.
- Bake the brownies. Bake the combined layers in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the pecan topping is set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into 12 or 16 squares to serve.
Notes
- Use a 9×9-inch pan to ensure proper baking and thickness.
- Allow brownies to cool fully before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Chop pecans coarsely to maintain texture in the topping.
- For extra gooey brownies, slightly underbake by 2-3 minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
