Pecan Pie Brownies are like a mix of your favorites, a delicious pie and those fudgy brownies, but while it’s a super easy recipe to make it can also cause some major issues. This is one of those recipes where we prefer to bust out a shortcut with the brownies, but you must follow everything to a T or you’ll end up with gooey brownies, and not in the way you’re thinking.

It’s a real mess to be scooping brownies out of a pan using a large metal spoon instead of carefully cutting those perfect lines and going in for your favorite piece.

Years ago I posted this picture of brownies and asked the age old question, Do You Prefer Edge or Middle?

I was actually a little surprised by how close the count was. Almost split evenly for both! Can you guess what we prefer?

Cade is a pretty die-hard middle man which I was as well until the last two years. Suddenly I’ve been really pulled to the edge. I just love that it’s got both the soft and fudgy middle along with the crisp and chewy edges.

I should restate that because crisp really shouldn’t be included. Chewy. I don’t like burnt edges on brownies. Chewy are awesome, burnt chocolate is never my favorite.

Pecan Pie

We have yet to post a classic Pecan Pie recipe, so I do apologize that isn’t on our site yet, but hear me out. I’ve never really had Pecan Pie. Like really at all. That means that I have to do a heck of a lot of research in order to figure it all out, and I’m willing, for sure, but Cade is a southern boy and I need him weighing in on all things so it’s taking a bit longer.

In fact, if one of you has the most amazing Pecan Pie recipe we would love to try it out!

Pecan Pie needs one really important thing, pecans. Obviously. That was exhausting to say, but it’s true. Start out with good Pecans and then make a brown sugar mixture that you’ll fold the nuts into. This is really important, so pay very close attention.

The Most Important Step!

After mixing the pecans and the brown sugar all together you’ll spread the mixture on top of the brownies, but too much of the liquid will keep the brownies soggy no matter how much you cook them, so listen, you have to mix the nuts well, but be willing to not add every last bit of liquid to the brownies.

Like really, don’t. I don’t like to waste either, but just do it.

Then, take the brownies and place them on plastic wrap in a single layer and wrap them multiple times. Store the brownies in two sections gallon sized ziploc bags.
