Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare a nine-by-13-inch baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray, and set it aside.
  • Add the butter and brown sugar to a mixing bowl, and mix until it’s well combined.
  • Mix in the eggs and vanilla. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix until smooth, and finally, stir in the pecans.
  • Evenly pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with only moist crumbs.
  • Let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving. Store the bars in an airtight container.
