Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure your brownies come out clean and intact.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Cocoa: In a medium saucepan, gently melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth, creating the rich chocolate base for your brownies.
  3. Combine Sugar and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs vigorously until the mixture becomes light and slightly thickened, ensuring your brownies develop a tender crumb.
  4. Add Vanilla and Chocolate Mixture: Fold the melted butter and cocoa mixture into the egg and sugar blend carefully so the batter remains airy and glossy.
  5. Stir in Flour, Salt, and Pecans: Gently sift in the flour and salt, folding until no streaks remain. Then, toss in the chopped toasted pecans to evenly distribute that irresistible nutty crunch throughout.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to enjoy fudgy perfection.

Notes

  • Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for richer flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and avoid cakey texture.
  • Toast pecans before adding to enhance their flavor and crunch.
  • Check for doneness starting at 25 minutes to preserve fudgy texture.
  • Allow brownies to cool fully before slicing for clean cuts and proper shape.
