Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup caramel sauce Store-bought or homemade

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chopped pecans gently.
Baking
  1. Pour half of the brownie batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. Drizzle half of your caramel sauce over this layer, then pour the remaining brownie batter on top. Finish with a swirl of the remaining caramel sauce.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
  4. Once cooled, cut into squares.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can be frozen wrapped tightly for longer storage. Variations: Dark chocolate chips or walnuts can be added instead of pecans.
