These brownies pair a prepared brownie base with a pecan pie filling that is cooked on the stovetop before it goes into the oven. The finished pan needs time to cool completely so the filling can set before slicing.

Watch How to Make It

The method starts with a short par-bake for the brownie layer, then adds the pecan filling for the final bake. That sequence keeps the preparation organized from the first oven step through serving.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

This recipe brings brownies and pecan pie filling together in one baking dish. The filling is made while the brownies par-bake, then poured over the partially baked base before the dish returns to the oven.

It also gives clear finishing guidance: remove the dish while the center of the filling still has a slight jiggle, then let it cool completely before slicing. The cooling period is part of the process because it gives the pecan pie filling time to set.

Ingredients You'll Need

The recipe uses a boxed brownie mix sized for a 9 x 13 pan as the base. Follow the package directions to prepare it before it goes into the greased baking dish.

For the pecan pie filling, the ingredients are chopped pecans, sugar, light corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and eggs. The butter, sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla are cooked together before the pecans are stirred in.

How To Make It

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions.

Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and par-bake for 12 minutes. While the brownies are baking, prepare the pecan pie filling.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the sugar and corn syrup until well combined.

Quickly whisk in the eggs, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir in the vanilla.

Continue cooking until the filling has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the pecans.

Carefully pour the pecan pie filling evenly over the brownies and return the dish to the oven. Bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven when the filling still has a slight jiggle in the center. Allow the brownies to cool completely, giving the pecan pie filling time to set. Once cooled and set, slice and serve.

Wrapping Up

Give the pan the full cooling time it needs before cutting so the filling can set. Slice the brownies only after they have cooled completely.
