🥄 How to Make Maple Pecan Blondies
Step 1: Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Fold in chopped pecans.
Step 4: Bake
Spread batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Step 5: Cool & Slice
Let cool completely before slicing into squares or bars. Drizzle with extra maple syrup if you’re feeling fancy.
💡 Tips for Perfect Blondies Every Time
- Don’t overbake – blondies should be soft in the center
- Toast the pecans lightly beforehand for deeper flavor
- Want more texture? Add shredded coconut or crushed pretzels
- For a maple-glazed finish: whisk powdered sugar + maple syrup + a dash of milk
