10 Tablespoons unsalted butter ((1 1/4 sticks))
1 1/4 cup sugar (250 gm)

1/2 Cup white Chocolate Chips (75 gm)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and get a 9″ square baking pan.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment or aluminum foil with an overhang on opposite sides so you can lift out the brownies from the pan.

  • Remove the bowl from the heat and allow to cool just a little bit.
  • Add the vanilla and stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one (I'm not too sure just how vigorously you can stir the chocolate with a wooden spoon but give it a go).
  • When the batter looks thick, shiny and well blended add the flour and stir until you can no longer see it, and then beat it vigorously for 40 strokes with your wooden spoon.
  • Add the nuts and chocolate chips and spread evenly in your baking pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out slightly moist with batter.
  • Let cool completely on a wire rack.

PECAN PIE BROWNIES



Pecan Pie Brownies image

A fudgy and decadent chocolate brownie topped with a sweet and crunchy layer of pecan pie is a match made in heaven. To ensure the layers stay distinct when these two classic desserts come together, the brownie is baked first then the nut filling is layered over it and baked again. In the oven, the syrup seeps into the brownies, keeping them moist and rich. Try serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso, optional
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon bourbon, optional
3 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • For the brownie layer: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt, baking powder and espresso powder, if using. Beat on medium-low speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until mostly dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the melted butter mixture to the bowl and mix on medium-low speed until the batter is smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and carefully add the flour and chocolate chips, mixing until the flour is fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the brownie layer is cooked through, 32 to 34 minutes.
  • For the pecan layer: While the brownie layer is baking, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, eggs and bourbon, if using, in a medium bowl until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Add the pecans and stir until the nuts are completely coated.
  • Gently pour the pecan mixture over the baked brownie, using a spoon or small offset spatula to carefully spread all the way to the edges. Bake until the pecan pie layer is golden, set and no longer jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, about 3 hours, before slicing into 9 squares.

FUDGY VEGAN BROWNIES



Fudgy Vegan Brownies image

Fudgy brownie fans unite! These are the ooiest, gooiest squares ever -- and they just happen to be vegan. Loaded to the max with chocolate chips (is there any other way?) and boasting the dense, rich texture we all love, these are an easy one-pan dessert that you can whip up in a single bowl. Unlike other vegan brownies that use flax meal for an egg replacement, this batter turns to a pantry staple instead: confectioners' sugar, which has just a touch of cornstarch or tapioca starch and pulls everything together perfectly.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
1 stick (1/2 cup) vegan butter, melted
1 1/2 cups vegan granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegan confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk, such as soy, almond or oat
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
One 10-ounce bag vegan chocolate chips (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray, line with parchment and spray again.
  • Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Whisk until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute. Add the milk, vanilla extract, baking powder and salt and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips and fold with a rubber spatula just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake until fully set and the top is firm, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Slice into 9 squares and serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve the fudgy texture, use a combination of melted butter and oil. Butter adds flavor, while oil helps keep the brownies moist.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dry brownies.
  • For a chewier brownie, use less flour. For a cakier brownie, use more flour.
  • Be generous with the chocolate chips. Chocolate chips add flavor and richness to the brownies.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Brownies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
