Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the pan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and completely melted.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until fully combined and set aside to cool slightly.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Pecan Brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
