Ingredients
180g dark chocolate (70%)
150g unsalted butter
¾ cup maple syrup
½ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup plain flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp salt

Flaky salt (optional)
Method
Preheat oven: 170°C (fan). Line a 20cm square tin with baking paper.
Melt chocolate & butter: In a saucepan or heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt together chocolate and butter until glossy.
Mix wet ingredients: Stir in maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs (one at a time), and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients: Sift in flour, cocoa, and salt. Fold gently until just combined. Stir in pecans.
Bake: Pour into the tin, smooth the top, and sprinkle extra pecans if using. Bake for 25–30 minutes — edges should be set, middle slightly soft. Wait to cool before slicing.
