Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup. Chop and toast the pecans if not already toasted, and gather all ingredients.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the leavening agents are evenly distributed for uniform rising.
  3. Cream Butter, Sugar, and Maple Syrup: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add in the pure maple syrup while continuing to mix, creating a rich, caramelized base.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating well after each addition for a smooth blend. Stir in the vanilla extract to add warmth and aroma.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to keep the blondies tender and prevent overworking the batter.
  6. Fold in Pecans: Gently stir the chopped toasted pecans into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed to provide crunchy bursts in every bite.
  7. Bake and Cool: Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool completely before slicing for clean, tidy pieces.

Notes

  • Use high-quality pure maple syrup for authentic rich flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stop as soon as ingredients are combined to maintain tenderness.
  • Toast pecans before adding for enhanced flavor and crunch.
  • Allow blondies to cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
  • Start checking for doneness at 25 minutes since oven temperatures can vary.
