Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

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

Mix-ins (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and pure maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined to create a rich base for your blondies.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated to maintain a tender texture in the blondies.
  4. Add Mix-ins: Fold in the chopped pecans and white chocolate chips if you are using them. This adds delightful crunch and sweetness layered into every bite. Then, spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake: Bake the blondies in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Serve as a delightful maple-flavored treat.

Notes

  • Use melted and slightly cooled butter to avoid cooking the eggs when mixing.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans.
  • White chocolate chips can be substituted with dark or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the blondies moist and chewy rather than dry.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
