  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp buttermilk

Pecan pie layer:

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9-inch, deep pie dish.
  • Place pie crust in the pie dish, gently fitting it in. 
  • For the brownie layer, simply whisk all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Spread brownie batter in the bottom of the crust evenly.
  • Spread crushed pecans over the brownie layer but do not press.
  • For pecan pie filling, whisk together the ingredients for pecan pie (except pecans of course), whisk vigorously for a few seconds. 
  • Spoon pecan pie filling over the pecans and brownie, try to spoon it evenly. Do not pour.
  • Cover with aluminum foil, carefully tucking the ends so that you don’t squash the pie crust.
  • Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake covered for 40 minutes. Take off foil and bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes.
  • Take out the pie and let it cool and set for at least 3 hours (or overnight).
  • You don't need to refrigerate this pie.
  • TIP: To cut the pie easier, use serrated knife to gently cut through the pecan crust on top.

Notes

Storing: If you’re planning on serving it right away, you can leave it in an airtight container right on the countertop for 1 to 2 days. In the refrigerator, it will stay good for up to 5 days, just make sure to keep it air-tight
