Ingredients
- Nonstick spray
- 1 1/2 sticks ( 12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup toffee bits
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust the racks to the center of the oven. Spray an 8 by 8 inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and stir int he brown sugar until melted together. Let cool for 5 minutes.
While the mixture is cooling, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
Toast the pecans in a medium skillet over medium heat. Remove to a plate once toasted.
Stir in the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract into the cooled sugar and butter mixture. Add the dry ingredients into the saucepan until combined. Fold in the toffee and chopped pecans; the batter will be very thick.
Spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
