Hello and welcome to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make pecan
pie brownies.
Oh, yeah, I had a request to make pecan pie brownies.
So here we go.
That's what we're going to do.
They're really easy to do.
Simple ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.
Before I move on, make sure to subscribe to my channel and hit

my new videos.
Let's get baking down below in the description, but you'll
find a list of the ingredients and their amounts.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 176 Celsius.
And now we need to make the brownies base first and just a
normal brownie recipe, whatever your favorite brownie
recipe is, I'm just going to use the supreme chocolate chunk
brownie mix from Betty Crocker.
I have a a scratch brownie recipe already that you can
find here on my channel.
I'll put a link down below where you can find that up
in the eye.
You'll find that link to that from scratch brownie recipe.
Since I already have a video on that, I'm not going to show
you how to make the brownie from scratch.
So let's put this in there
in a large bowl.
Let's add one egg,
one third cup of oil and one fourth cup of water use
filtered water because my tap water is gross and these are
just ingredients on the box.
And now let's mix these together.
You could mix the water and the egg and the oil first together
if you wanted.
No need to use a hand mixer.
Just use a wooden spoon, silicone spoon.
For.
A whisk won't do the trick because it's a little.
This is a little too heavy unless you have a really
sturdy whisk
that a good mix until the batter is nice and
mixed like that.
OK, awesome.
Now take an eight by eight, 10 or 11 by seven inch pan and
we will pour the brown mix in
brownie batter.
Make sure you scrape it all out of the pan or the bowl,
and I grease that pan with shortening, or you just
spray it with cooking spray and just spread it out if
you need to.
So even
and then we're going to take this in the oven for
about 25 minutes.
We are not going to bake it for as long as it says on the back
of the box at first.
OK, because once we make the bacon topping, we're going to
bake it further.
So we'll just bake this for about 20 to 25 minutes.
And now when you have about three minutes left on
the brownies, this make the pecan pie topping.
I take one large egg, one teaspoon of vanilla extract
that could whisk
one fourth cup of corn syrup.
Two tablespoons of butter that I just melted.
So it's not really hot, but just barely melted.
OK, one fourth teaspoon of salt
and one half cup of brown sugar, that was.
That's how you measure brown sugar using an American
standard measurements as you pack it in firmly fills
up the cup.
Otherwise, just do the weight measurement.
If you are using Metric and Downbelow in the description,
you'll find the metric measurements as well.
Switched to my wisk.
And we're skeptical
and now we add the pecans, I have two cups of pecans,
you could add a little bit more or a little bit less.
And this becomes our pecan or pecan pie topping.
Pretty awesome.
All right, and then you pull the pen out of the oven using a
hot mitt, and then we will put the top of this on
the brownie.
Smells fantastic, and we'll just spread it out
evenly on top.
And now we will bake it for another 20 to 25 minutes
until it's done.
Make sure to check it after about 15 minutes.
And if the nuts on top, the bacon on top are getting
too dark, then you can cover it with foil onto that step.
All right.
Now, once it comes out of the oven, it'll look
something like this.
You'll notice around the edges it bleated a little bit.
It's a part of being caramel and just let it sit and cool
completely and then we'll cut into it.
And once it has cooled, you'll notice it looks pretty
much identical to what a pecan pie looks like on top.
Now, let's take something like a butter knife or a
cake spatula, and he's going to gently go around the
edges here.
Now, that caramel siding might have stuck a little bit,
so just kind of
dig at it a little bit to peel it away from the side.
Another thing you can do is you can always just put parchment
paper in here and bake it in that.
OK, once you get the sides kind of all peeled away, we can go
ahead and cut into it and cut the brownies, whatever size
that you want.
And an eight by eight, I usually just do.
Nine squares.
And the more you kill it or cool it, the firmer it
will be.
This is just a slightly warm
if I can get this first one out, the first one is
always the hardest.
There we go.
Look at that.
A nice, fudgy brownie with pecan pie top.
Awesome.
All right.
The pecan pie brownies are done and turned out fantastic.
Really easy to do.
Simple ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.
