Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 180 grams (6.5 oz) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 200 grams (1 cup) dark chocolate
- 350 grams (1¾ cups) demerara sugar
- 75 grams (2.65 oz) plain flour
- 50 grams (1¾ oz) self-raising flour
- 45 grams (1½ oz) cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 100 grams (1 cup) pecan nuts
- For greasing: Melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking pan with melted butter and line with parchment if desired.
- In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring gently until smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat and stir in the demerara sugar until fully incorporated.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla essence.
- Sift the plain flour, self-raising flour, and cocoa powder together. Gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Stir in the pecan nuts, saving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or bars.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days—or freeze for up to a month.
Notes
- To toast pecans for extra flavor, roast them in a dry skillet for 5–7 minutes before adding to the batter.
- For extra decadence, drizzle cooled brownies with melted chocolate or top with flaky sea salt.
- If using only plain flour, add ½ tsp baking powder to substitute for self-raising flour.
- These brownies are even better the next day after the flavors meld—trust us!
- Swap pecans for walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds if preferred.
