Maple Pecan Brownies are super fudgy chocolate maple brownies studded with candied maple brownies.
Side Note: I know this is a really difficult time for most of the world with the Corona Virus and my heart goes out to all those affected. However, I feel the news and other media outlets are doing a great job of keeping people up to date with details etc so I am going to keep my blog and content as a source of normalcy. So if you like baking, recipes and just need something to take your mind off hard topics, stick around!
These brownies are a twist on my classic fudgy brownies with the addition of candied maple pecans, which have been featured before in this recipe and again in this recipe, and with the addition of maple syrup throughout the brownies to really get that hit of maple flavour.
How to make these brownies
Recipe for these maple pecan brownies is simple. We take my fudgy brownies recipe (cutting down on the brown sugar and sugar to make room for the addition of pure maple syrup). I'm not going to explain how to make these brownies as I have in many other posts and the full recipe is available below.
To candy the pecans you just need a simple mixture of maple syrup, coconut oil, salt and a touch of vanilla extract. Fry these ingredients with the pecans and that's it!
FAST.
EASY.
GAME CHANGING.

Instructions
Candied Maple Pecans;

- Mix in the chocolate mixture.
- Stir in the flour, cocoa and candied pecans until just combined.
- Place in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes. Around 15 minutes through, take them out of the oven and top with the 16 pecans and then place back in the oven for the remaining 10 minutes.
- The top and sides will be set and the middle will have crumbs attached to a skewer inserted but should not be wet.
