Description
These Maple Pecan Blondies are a delightful fall treat. They feature a rich, chewy texture with the warm flavors of maple and the crunch of toasted pecans.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions
- 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, brown sugar, and maple syrup until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- 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 toasted pecans.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- 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
- Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and crunch.
- Ensure your butter is fully melted for the best texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the blondies tender.
- Cooling completely before cutting prevents them from crumbling.
