Maple Pecan Blondies

Maple Pecan Blondies

Maple Pecan Blondies offer a rich, buttery, and naturally sweet dessert combining pure maple syrup with toasted pecans for a crunchy, tender treat. This easy-to-make, elegant blondie delivers moist texture and warm nutty flavors perfect for gatherings or cozy afternoons.

  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 16 blondies (approximate 2x2 inch squares) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup toasted pecans (roughly chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Toast the pecans gently in a dry skillet until fragrant, then roughly chop them. Melt the unsalted butter and measure all other ingredients.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar until smooth and fully combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and slightly thickened.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Fold in the toasted pecans carefully to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • Use real pure maple syrup for the best natural flavor and depth.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep blondies tender.
  • Toast pecans to enhance their oils and maximize crunch and flavor.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper to make removal easier and edges cleaner.
  • Start checking doneness at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out the blondies.
