How to Make Pecan Pie Brownies
TIP: While your brownies bake, make your pecan pie topping. That way they should both be done about the same time.
For the Brownies:
- Preheat oven to 325°F and prepare a 9×13″ baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine brownie ingredients in a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer until well incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 44-47 minutes or until brownies are done – baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Remove brownies from oven and allow to cool in the pan until they are cool enough to touch, then transfer to a cookie sheet.
- When your pecan topped brownie is completely cool, cover with the pecan pie topping, slice, and enjoy!
TIP: We used box mix to save time, but you can also make pecan pie brownies from scratch using our our Perfect Fudge Brownies from Scratch Recipe. Just be sure to double the recipe because these pecan pie brownies are a bigger batch.
For the Pecan Pie Topping:
- Combine filling ingredients EXCEPT pecans and vanilla in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to mix.
- Remove pan from heat and stir in the pecans and vanilla, then pour into a large heat-safe bowl.
- Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes, then move to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Oh my gosh y’all…I just can’t stop drooling over these pecan topped brownies!! Soooo good!!
Does Pecan Pie Need to be Refrigerated?
YES.
While this is not a traditional pecan pie recipe, the eggs used in the pecan pie topping necessitate that these brownies are stored in the refrigerator.
If you like a gooey topping, you can always pop your individual brownies in the microwave for a few seconds immediately prior to enjoying.
Store these in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
