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. They middle should be slightly jiggly but they still taste yummy if you over-bake them. Allow to co

Iced Mocha

I was too lazy to walk to the coffee shop to get something so I came up with this iced mocha drink. I love coffee and I love chocolate. YUM!



Iced Mocha
Makes 1 drink

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 heaping teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (vegan if desired)
  • ice cubes
  • 2% milk (or dairy-free milk for vegan)
Directions
  1. Dissolve coffee in water and set aside.
  2. In a large glass, add vanilla and chocolate syrup. Fill the glass a little over half way with ice cubes. Pour in the coffee and give it a good stir.
  3. Top up the glass with cold milk (or if you're naughty, you can use cream). Stir it again.
  4. You can adjust the chocolate syrup to taste. This is just right for me but you may like it a little sweeter.
Tips:
  • If you want to get fancy, top it off with whipped cream and chocolate syrup drizzle.
