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.

One Bowl Maple Walnut Brownies

I really don't like washing dishes - do you? These brownies are easy and I since I'm on vacation from work this week, it was easy to eat too many of them. Usually I bring leftovers to work to get rid of them. My co-workers LOVE treats.

Since Valentine's Day is coming up, you could use a cookie cutter to make heart shaped brownies for your Valentine, or bake the mixture in a heart shaped muffin pan if you have one. 

You could use different types of chocolate or nuts in these, or replace the maple extract with vanilla or other extracts.

One Bowl Maple Walnut Brownies
Makes 16 squares

Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and spray/flour an 8x8 inch pan.
  2. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the butter and chocolate chips for about 45 seconds, or until you can stir them together and the chocolate is melted. 
  3. Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture until well combined, followed by the eggs and maple extract. I used a rubber spatula to mix everything. 
  4. Now, add the cocoa and flour and stir just until combined. Gently stir in the nuts and chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. 
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. 
  7. Cool completely before slicing into 16 squares. Store in an airtight container. If you leave them sitting out they will get dry around the edges.
