If you love brownies and pie, you’ll love this delicious recipe. In her Magnolia Table cookbook, Joanna Gaines shares her recipe for brownie pie. The former Fixer Upper star says her children love to eat both of these desserts, so she decided to combine them to make this pie. She said the result of this recipe left her kids awestruck. “Two of my kids’ most favorite desserts in the world are brownies and pie. The first time I made this they thought I was some kind of miracle worker. This really is the best of both worlds: rich brownies with chocolate chips and nuts baked into a flaky pie crust,” she wrote in Magnolia Table. Here’s Joanna Gaines’ recipe for brownie pie.

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time. Whisk in the flour, vanilla, and salt.
