Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (75g) cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (120g) chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently stir in the toasted pecans, reserving some for topping if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Toasting the pecans before adding them to the brownie batter enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the brownies.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to avoid developing too much gluten, which can result in dense brownies.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor in your brownies.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares to prevent them from crumbling.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve the brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
- To freeze brownies, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
