Description
Delicious Brown Butter Maple Pecan Blondies that are a must-try treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring constantly until it reaches a deep golden hue and emits a nutty scent (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the browned butter from heat and let it cool for a few moments.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown butter with both sugars until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup, mixing until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Add in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the flour mixture.
- You can swap out the pecans for walnuts if preferred.
- For a chocolate addition, mix in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips before baking.
