Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).

In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, 1 egg, 1/3 cup oil, and 1/4 cup filtered water.

Mix until the batter is well combined using a wooden or silicone spoon.

Grease an 8x8, 10x7, or 11x7 inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake the brownie base for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness.

In the last 3 minutes of baking, prepare the pecan pie topping.

In a bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar.

Add 2 cups of pecans to the mixture and stir to combine.

Remove the brownie base from the oven and pour the pecan topping over it, spreading it evenly.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, checking after 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Once baked, let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
