Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pecan halves (lightly toasted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Fold in toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour batter into the greased pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a little gooey is okay!).
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares and serving warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
