Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown and smells nutty. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and maple extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra maple kick, you can drizzle a little extra maple syrup over the blondies after they’ve cooled slightly.
  • Ensure your butter is browned but not burnt for the best flavor.
  • These blondies are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
