Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy!  Maple Pecan Blondies Makes 9-12 servings Original recipe from Bigger Bolder Baking Ingredients ¾ cup butter, melted or browned 1¼ cups dark brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup 1 large egg  2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda I ¼ cups pecans, toasted and chopped  Directions   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment. Gemma used 8x8 but I like my bars thinner. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Easy Cheesy Pita Pizza

Here's something I make often.

Sometimes I'll use a tortilla instead, it just depends what I have on hand. You can use any kind of cheese you like and if you're in the mood, add other toppings. I like the little bit of sourness you get from using tomato paste but you could use pizza sauce if you prefer.


Easy Cheesy Pita Pizza
Makes 1 pizza

Ingredients
  • 1 pita
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. Spread the tomato paste over the pita then sprinkle with oregano and garlic. Top with cheese. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
Tips:
  • Make sure your cheese isn't too close to the edge or it could bubble over and make a mess of your oven. You can place your pizza on a baking sheet or foil if you want to play it safe, but sometimes the bottom doesn't get crispy.
