Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning throughout the batter.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with brown sugar until creamy and fluffy. Then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing well to infuse that rich maple flavor.
  3. Add eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated to create a smooth and glossy base for the blondies.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid over-mixing, which can make the blondies tough.
  5. Fold in toasted pecans: Gently fold the chopped toasted pecans evenly through the batter to add texture and flavor.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan, spreading evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Notes

  • Use 100% pure maple syrup for authentic flavor; avoid imitation syrups.
  • Lightly toast pecans before folding them in to enhance flavor and crunch.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender and moist.
  • Allow the blondies to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and to avoid over-browning on the bottom.
