Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter

150g

1/2 cup pecans

60g

1/3 cup maple syrup

72g

1/2 cup dark chocolate

120g

2 eggs

100g

1 cup sugar

230g

1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour

120g

2 tbsp dry cocoa powder

30g

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup milk (1% fat)

120g

1 dash salt

1 cup water

250g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium baking dish or a deep baking tray (around 8x8 inch or similar).

2. Toast Pecans:
- Place the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the dark chocolate and stir continuously until both have completely melted and combined. Remove from heat.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly pale. Slowly add the melted butter and chocolate mixture, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.

5. Add Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, dry cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.

6. Add Milk and Pecans:
- Stir in the milk, ensuring the batter is smooth. Then, fold in the toasted pecans.

7. Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

8. Prepare Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup with 1 cup boiling water. Carefully pour this mixture over the brownie batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.

9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is firm to touch but the middle remains gooey. The pudding should have a set top and a sauce-like bottom.

10. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownie pudding to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help thicken the sauce slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Ensure that your butter is properly melted before combining it with other ingredients to achieve a smooth mixture.

- Toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the recipe for an enhanced nutty flavor.

- When combining the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can result in a denser pudding.

- The water added at the end is crucial for creating the self-saucing effect. Pour it gently to prevent disturbing the batter too much.

- Bake the pudding just until set. Overbaking can dry out the sauce, while underbaking may result in a too-liquid center.

- Allow the pudding to rest for a few minutes after baking. This resting time helps the sauce to thicken slightly and develop its flavor.

With its rich, chocolatey flavor and satisfying pecan crunch, this self-saucing pecan brownie pudding is sure to impress your family and friends. The unique self-saucing feature adds a delectable element to this dessert, making it a perfect choice for any occasion. Serve it warm, possibly with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and savor the compliments that are sure to come your way.
