Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle extra pecans on top for extra crunch. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cut into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder.
Store brownies in an airtight container for up to a week.
These brownies can be frozen for up to three months.
