Ingredients
- 1 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or coconut oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon optional vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup maple syrup or corn syrup
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon optional vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups toasted and coarsely chopped pecans
Instructions
- Combine melted butter, oil, and both sugars in a bowl, then beat in eggs and optional vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just incorporated.
- Pour batter into a greased (or lined with foil or parchment paper) 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until the top begins to set and slightly jiggles, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
- In a saucepan, stir together brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, beaten eggs, optional vanilla, and chopped pecans. Simmer over medium heat, stirring until the mixture thickens, approximately 5 minutes.
- Pour this pecan mixture over the partially baked brownie layer in the pan.
- Return to the oven and bake at 350°F until the pecan layer is set but still a bit jiggly, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool before enjoying!
