Maple Pecan Blondies

Maple Pecan Blondies

Maple Pecan Blondies are a rich and chewy dessert featuring the natural sweetness of pure maple syrup and the nutty crunch of toasted pecans. Perfectly balanced with a tender crumb and slightly crisp edges, these blondies offer a comforting and delicious treat suitable for any occasion, from snacks to gifts or breakfast delights.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 16 blondies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pecans: Toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden to enhance their flavor and add crunch to the blondies.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: Melt the unsalted butter, then combine it with brown sugar and pure maple syrup in a bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy for even flavor distribution.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to provide structure and balance the sweetness of the blondies.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Add Pecans and Bake: Fold the toasted pecans into the batter, then spread the mixture evenly into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Notes

  • Use pure maple syrup for authentic, deep flavor.
  • Do not overbake; remove blondies as soon as set to keep them chewy.
  • Toast pecans properly to boost flavor and texture.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth batter blending.
  • Cut blondies slightly warm for clean slices.
