Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper. Toast the pecans in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, melt the unsalted butter then whisk in the sugar until fully combined and slightly glossy. This step creates that silky base for your brownies.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add vanilla extract and combine thoroughly. These ingredients help create a smooth batter and rich flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix, to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Stir in Pecans and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the toasted pecans and chocolate chips (if using), distributing them evenly throughout the batter for bursts of texture and flavor.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains fudgy when tested with a toothpick.
  7. Cool and Cut: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. This helps them set perfectly and avoid crumbling when cut.

Notes

  • Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender brownies.
  • Spoon and level your flour when measuring to avoid dense texture.
  • Always toast nuts first to enhance flavor and crunch.
  • Check for doneness starting at 25 minutes to keep the fudgy center moist.
