Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs, melted and cooled chocolate, Bisquick, brown sugar, and softened margarine until smooth or blend in a blender until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a greased pie plate.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top of the batter.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of sweet chocolate. If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix. To enhance the texture, consider folding in chocolate chips along with the nuts. Make sure the margarine is softened for easy blending, and don’t overmix the batter to keep it tender. This brownie pie pairs beautifully with Apple Glazed Carrots.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the brownie pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent dessert. Fresh berries on the side add a nice tart contrast to the sweetness. It also makes a delightful treat alongside a cup of coffee or tea. For a unique twist, drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the brownie pie to cool completely before storing. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to five days. For reheating, place slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until warmed through, or enjoy it chilled for a fudgy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate for this recipe?
Yes, you can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate instead of sweet chocolate. Adjust the sugar amount if using dark chocolate, as it tends to be less sweet. Just ensure the chocolate is melted and cooled before mixing it with the other ingredients.
Is it possible to make this recipe without eggs?
Absolutely! You can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes). This will help bind the ingredients while keeping the dessert moist.
How can I make this brownie pie more decorative for serving?
To make your brownie pie visually appealing, consider dusting it with powdered sugar before serving. You can also top it with fresh berries or chocolate shavings. A drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel sauce can also enhance its presentation and flavor.
