Description
A recipe for rich brownies studded with pecans, inspired by Georgia flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar together until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For fudgier brownies, reduce the flour to 1/3 cup.
- Toast the pecans lightly before adding them for deeper flavor.
- Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature.
