- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup maple syrup
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and maple extracts.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Drizzle the maple syrup over the batter in the pan.
- Spread the remaining batter over the maple syrup layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, do not overbake.
- You can toast the pecans before adding them for a richer flavor.
- Ensure your maple syrup is pure maple syrup for the best taste.
