Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Sugar

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup toasted chopped pecans
  • Optional: 1/2 cup melted chocolate (for extra fudgy texture and glossy finish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Pecans: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Toast pecans in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Roughly chop and set aside.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, gently melt unsalted butter with optional chopped chocolate or chips over a double boiler or short microwave bursts. Stir until smooth and glossy to create a deeply fudgy base.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined and slightly fluffy. Add melted butter-chocolate mixture and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these into the wet mixture just until no streaks remain, avoiding overmixing to keep brownies fudgy.
  5. Fold in the Pecans: Carefully fold in the toasted chopped pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the batter to provide crunchy texture in every bite.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to lock in fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better batter incorporation and texture.
  • Do not overbake; target moist crumbs on toothpick for gooey inside.
  • Toast pecans fresh to enhance flavor and crunch.
  • Chill brownies before cutting for clean slices and improved fudginess.
  • Choose high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for deeper, richer chocolate flavor.
