Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 sheets Phyllo dough
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Chopped walnuts
- 1 box Brownie mix
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, combining the eggs, vegetable oil, and water with the mix. Set the batter aside.
Lay a sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish and brush it evenly with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering and buttering 8 sheets of phyllo dough.
Sprinkle a layer of chopped walnuts evenly over the phyllo layers.
Carefully spread half of the brownie batter over the walnuts to create an even layer.
Add another 8 layers of phyllo dough, repeating the process of layering and buttering each sheet.
Sprinkle another layer of chopped walnuts over the second phyllo layer.
Spread the remaining brownie batter evenly on top of the walnuts.
Use a sharp knife to score the top phyllo layers into diamond or square shapes (this will make cutting easier after baking).
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the phyllo dough is golden brown and crisp.
While the baklava bakes, prepare the honey syrup. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, cinnamon stick, 1/4 cup of water, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and set the syrup aside to cool slightly.
Remove the baked Brownie Baklava from the oven and immediately pour the honey syrup evenly over the top. Let it soak for at least 1 hour before serving.
Once cooled and the syrup is absorbed, cut along the scored lines and serve!
