Ingredients:

1/2 cup pecans
60g
1/3 cup maple syrup
72g
1/2 cup butter
110g
3/4 cup dark chocolate
170g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Prepare the Pecans:
- Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant. Let them cool slightly and then chop coarsely. Set aside.
3. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Melt them together by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in short bursts (20-30 seconds) stirring in between until smooth. Remove from heat once melted and set aside to cool slightly.
4. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, eggs, and maple syrup. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour, self-raising flour, and dry cocoa powder.
6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Add Pecans and Sour Cream:
- Fold in the chopped toasted pecans and sour cream until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (the brownies will continue to set as they cool).
9. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper (if used) and cut into squares.
10. Enjoy!
- Serve these rich and delicious maple syrup and dark chocolate brownies as a delightful treat for any occasion. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate to ensure a rich and intense chocolate flavor.

- Toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the batter to bring out their nutty taste.

- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing with the other ingredients.

- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until all ingredients are combined to keep the brownies fudgy.

- Check the doneness of the brownies by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, not completely clean.

- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting to ensure clean and sharp edges.

There you have it, a delightful batch of Maple Syrup and Dark Chocolate Brownies that are both luscious and flavorful. Whether you serve them warm with a scoop of ice cream or enjoy them on their own, these brownies are a crowd-pleaser. Happy baking!
