How to Make Pecan Pie Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Reserve ¾ cup (170g) of yellow cake mix.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining cake mix (approximately 1 cup, 227g) with 1 large egg (50g) and beat until smooth.
- Add ½ cup (113g) melted unsalted butter to the batter and mix well until combined.
- Press the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the bottom layer bakes, prepare the pecan pie topping: In a separate large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (170g) packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (118ml) light corn syrup, 3 large eggs (150g), 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon almond extract, 1 ½ cups (150g) chopped pecans, and the reserved ¾ cup (170g) cake mix until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully pour the pecan pie topping evenly over the baked bottom layer.
- Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
