Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour, self-raising flour, and dry cocoa powder.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped toasted pecans and sour cream until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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!
