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.

This recipe is so easy even my 4 year old can assemble it.

Recipe from Allrecipes.com 
Makes 12 squares

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
  • 1 1/3 cups sweetened condensed milk
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. Pour the melted butter into a  9 x 13 inch pan (or use 2 square ones like I did). Sprinkle the graham crumbs over the margarine trying to keep them even.
  3. Next place the chopped nuts on top followed by the chocolate and butterscotch chips and finally the coconut. Pour the condensed milk over the top. Try to get it near the edges. They will brown nicely and get a bit chewy (this was my favourite part).
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes or until lightly brown on top. Cool before cutting into squares.
