How to Make Pecan Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. Grease and flour a large 9x13 inch baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  3. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Let cool slightly.
  4. Whisk together the melted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
  5. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup pecan halves.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. The edges should be set.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
