Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted Make sure it's fully melted.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Dark brown sugar enhances caramel notes.
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup chopped pecans Can substitute with walnuts or chocolate chips.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until combined and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture without overmixing.
  5. Gently stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, leveling it out. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

For perfect blondies, monitor baking time closely. Pull them out slightly under-baked for a chewy texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for a week. Can also be frozen.
