This recipe combines the earthy sweetness of maple syrup and the nutty crunch of roasted pecans with the decadence of chocolate brownies. It's a treat that's perfect for any occasion, from a cozy family gathering to a sophisticated dinner party.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup pecans
40g
1 tbsp maple syrup
16g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
3 eggs
150g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pecans:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, toss the pecans with the maple syrup until they are well-coated.
- Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until fragrant and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
2. Brownie Batter:
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- Grease a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Combine and Bake:
- Chop the cooled, maple-roasted pecans into smaller pieces and fold them into the brownie batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated 325°F (160°C) oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The brownies should be set on the edges but still slightly gooey in the center.

4. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, remove them from the pan and cut into squares.

Tips:

- Toasting pecans before mixing them with maple syrup enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch to your brownies.

- Ensure your dark chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth before combining them with other ingredients to achieve a consistent brownie batter.

- Don't overmix the batter once you've added the flour and cocoa powder. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies instead of a tender, fudgy texture.

- For clean slices, let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.

Your Maple-roasted Pecan Brownies are now ready to be enjoyed! The combination of the fudgy brownie base with the sweet, maple-roasted pecans creates a dessert that's both satisfying and memorable. Serve these brownies on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.
