Brownies and pecan pie come together in one. These amazing and scrumptious dessert are perfect for parties and you’ll want them all year round. So good with vanilla ice cream. I’m not a big fan of the classic pecan pie because it’s way too sweet for me.
You can use store bought boxed brownies or cake mix for the base instead of from scratch. Just follow package instructions and cooking time. It’s super quick and easy. Make them ahead and store in the fridge.

Recipe makes 18 square pieces

For the brownies layer:
2 Sticks unsalted butter-melted
2 Tbsp oil
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup brown sugar-packed
4 Eggs
1 Tsp vanilla extract
1/2 Tsp salt
1 1/2 Tsp baking powder
1 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Cup all-purpose flour

For the pecan pie layer:
2 Large eggs
1/2 Cup brown sugar-packed
1/2 Cup maple syrup or corn syrup
1/4 Cup unsalted butter-melted
1 Tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 Cups toasted pecans-coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C.
Bake the brownies layer first for 15 minutes, remove from oven then pour the pecan layer on top and continue baking 20 more minutes. Brownies are done when you gently shake the pan and the center just barely jiggles. Let cool completely before cutting.
Oven temperature may vary so you might have to bake a little longer.
