    A while ago I shared my favorite pecan pie recipe and my favorite homemade brownie recipe- I figured I’d combine the two and make these amazing brownies!

    These brownies are perfect for Thanksgiving, right along with my popular pumpkin pie with graham cracker crust, french silk pie, sweet potato pudding, and pear pie.

    What you need for Pecan Pie Brownies

    • Brownies: unsalted butter, dark cocoa powder (regular will work fine too!), flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, espresso powder (optional but gives richer flavor), eggs, vanilla, chocolate chips
    brownie ingredients
    Simple Ingredients for the best brownies!
    • Pecan Pie Filling: light corn syrup, brown sugar, large eggs, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, pecans
    pecan pie filling ingredients
    The pecan pie filling is really easy to make!

    Boxed Brownie Mix: If you want to use store box brownies instead you will need to adjust the baking time. Mix up the batter, bake halfway through, add the pecan pie filling on top and then bake until a toothpick comes out clean.

    This brownie recipe is my go-to for all my brownies- from my s’mores brownies, red velvet brownies, and even my spider web brownies! They rich, chocolatey, delicious, and perfect every time!

    How to make Pecan Pie Brownies:

    • Make the pecan pie filling by whisking together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, butter, and vanilla.
    • Stir continuously until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Then stir in chopped pecans and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Then set aside.

    How to store leftovers?

    Store leftover pecan pie brownies in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

    Pro Tips


    • You want your batter thick but not too thick. You still want it to be slightly spreadable over the brownies without mixing it in.
    • Brownies are done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
    • Allow brownies to cool completely for best result. They will hold their shape and not fall apart when cool.
    • You can always reheat an already cut piece of brownie and serve with ice cream!

    This is the best pecan pie brownie recipe! Sweet, rich, and full of flavor.

    The pecan pie filling paired with the rich chocolate brownie is a wonderful combination!

    • ¾ cup cocoa powder
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 2 cups sugar
    • 1 teaspoon espresso powder*
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 1 cup milk chocolate chips*

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
    • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Stir continuously until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, ~10 minutes. Stir in chopped pecans and cook for another 3-5 minutes. * Then set aside.

    • In a microwave safe dish melt the butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until the butter is completely melted.
      ¾ cup + 3 tbs unsalted butter
    • Stir cocoa powder into melted butter making sure there are no clumps. Set aside.

    • While butter mixture is cooling, in a separate small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
      1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
      flour mixture in bowl
    • In a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, mix together the butter mixture (it’s okay if it’s still warm), sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla. Then add the eggs one at a time, letting each egg become fully incorporated into the batter before adding the next.
      2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon espresso powder*, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla
      all wet ingredients mixed in
    • By hand, with a large rubber spatula or mixing spoon, fold in the flour mixture. Folding in the flour will help the brownie batter keep the air in it.
