Preparation

Brownies

Preheat the oven to 177°C and place the rack in the centre. Line an 8″ x 8″ baking tin with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs until well combined. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture using a spatula. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 15 minutes. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.

Pecan Topping

While the brownie is baking, mix the maple syrup, brown sugar, egg, butter, salt and vanilla together in a bowl. Add the pecans and stir gently until they are well coated.
Pour the pecan topping over the slightly cooled brownie, then bake for 20 minutes for a super fudgy texture, or 25 minutes for a more cooked brownie. Leave to cool for 20 minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing into squares.
