Ingredients for Brownie Pecan Pie
Let’s dive into the ingredients. Each one is carefully selected to not only complement each other but also bring tons of flavor to the table. Here’s what you’ll need:
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (ready to use)
1 box brownie mix
1 cup chopped pecans (toasted lightly for the best flavor)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/4 cup butter (melted and slightly cooled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now it’s time to bake this baby! Grab your apron, and let’s make the magic happen.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is our starting line, so make sure you get this going before you dive into mixing. The aroma of baking is one of the best parts!
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. If you’re using a frozen one, let it thaw a bit. A perfectly formed crust will help our filling stay snug!
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Just follow the directions for eggs, oil, and water, mix until smooth but avoid overmixing. You want that chewy texture!
Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly into the unbaked pie crust. Level it out with a spatula; you want a nice, even layer like a cozy blanket.
In a medium bowl, combine chopped pecans, corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Grab your whisk and mix until well combined, this gives our pie that classic pecan pie flavor.
Pour the pecan mixture over the brownie batter. The layers will blend a bit, and that’s totally fine. Just try to spread the pecan topping evenly so you get that gorgeous crunch in every slice!
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes. The top will be beautifully golden brown, and the filling will babble and jiggle slightly. You‘ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling step is essential to ensure clean slices when serving. If you’re impatient like me, a quick chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes speeds things up!
Slice and serve! You can serve it at room temperature, or for an extra indulgent experience, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Yes, please!
