1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (56g)

Fudgy Brownies:

Pre-heat your oven to 335F (conventional / no fan) and line a 9x9” baking pan with parchment paper and a light coating of butter / oil

Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, using 20 second increments in the microwave and stirring in between. Avoid over-heating the mixture as the chocolate can seize up

In the meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer at medium-high speed using the whisk attachment for 3-5 minutes. You should achieve a very thick and ribbony mixture which is light in color

Pour the chocolate & butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, and gently whisk at low speed until combined

Mix the instant coffee with hot water, and pour in. Gently fold into the batter

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to knock out the air in the batter

Pour the batter into the lined pan and spread evenly

Bake partially at 335F for just 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 350F. Rest the brownies for 5-10 minutes at room temperature

Pecan Pie Topping:

Note: Make sure the pecans are toasted before starting!

Add the maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, salt and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until fully combined

Stir in the toasted pecans and mix

Once the brownies have partially baked and rested for 5-10 minutes, spread the pecan filling on top. Return to the oven (which should be at 350F now) and bake for ~30 minutes until the pecans filling looks golden brown on top

Remove from oven (it's ok for there to be some gooey syrup, think of it like caramel sauce) and optionally sprinkle with sea salt

Rest the brownies in the pan for 1 hour. Then remove, cut into slices, and enjoy!
