Brownies
Brownies are traditional North-American tray-baked cakes: always moist in texture, usually with chocolate and pecan nuts.
Brownies should still be soft in the middle, so need to be slightly undercooked.

Remarks
If you don't have pecan nuts, walnuts will work just fine.
For an extra-delicious brownie, you can caramelize the pecan nuts (Jeremy's idea).
For a brownie with a more 'cereal' texture, add 50g rolled oats to the mixture. If possible, toast these like the nuts.
