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 yo...

Club House Gluten-Free ‘Stuffin Muffin & Gravy / Pork Chops with Brown Gravy

Club House Gluten-Free gravies are just as good as the original versions. If you don't have time or pan drippings to make gravy, these mixes only take minutes to prepare and can be made with water. Today I made 2 recipes using the gluten-free gravy mixes. 
Club House Gluten-Free ‘Stuffin Muffin & Gravy

 Since Thanksgiving is coming up here in Canada, I know it'll be time for stuffing. Stuffing is something I usually only get to eat at Thanksgiving and Christmas, so when I saw this recipe by Club House, I thought I'd give it a try. Maybe I can eat stuffing more than twice a year after all!

 You could use regular bread for this recipe, but if you want to keep the recipe gluten-free, you should use a gluten free bread like All But Gluten. I’ve tried a few of their products now and they are delicious. I really can't tell the difference between regular and gluten-free products.

 For this recipe, I used the turkey gravy mix. Just follow the package directions. You can't mess this up, trust me! Corn starch and potato starch seem to be the thickeners in this gluten-free mix (in case you were wondering).

 I used bacon fat instead of butter, because it's not often I cook with bacon fat, and I couldn't resist. I also thought the recipe needed more poultry seasoning, but that's only because my mom goes heavy on it with her stuffing and I like it that way.

Club House Gluten-Free ‘Stuffin Muffin & Gravy
Adapted from a Club House recipe
Makes 12 Servings

 Ingredients
  • 1 lb bacon, chopped
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon Club House Poultry Seasoning (or to taste)
  • 1 loaf stale All But Gluten Focaccia loaf (or 1 loaf sliced bread)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (gluten free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package of Club House Gravy Mix for Turkey (gluten free)
Directions
  1. Fry the bacon in a large pan until it gets crispy (not burnt). Transfer the bacon to paper towels, and drain all but 3 or 4 tablespoons of the fat from the pan.
  2. Add the onion and celery to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. About 5 minutes on medium heat.
  3. Stir in the poultry seasoning and cook for a minute, then add the bacon and cubed bread.
  4. Add the broth and season with pepper. I didn't think that the recipe needed additional salt. Between the bacon and gravy mix it was salty enough for us. Let the bread absorb the broth while you grease your muffin tin with butter. Divide the stuffing among the 12 muffin cups. I made a little indentation in the middle of them so the gravy could pool up on top later.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are toasty brown. Top your muffins off with your fabulous Club House gravy!
  6. And wouldn't these be nice with some chopped apple or dried cranberries? You could add pretty much whatever you would normally put in your stuffing.
Pork Chops with Club House Gluten-Free Brown Gravy (on Toast)

This recipe is super simple. My older daughter wouldn't let me eat it alone. If it's approved by a 6 year old, you know it must be good. Again, the gravy is salty enough for my family, so I wouldn't season the pork with any additional salt. To keep the recipe gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free bread.

Feb 5, 2023: I still keep a stash of ClubHouse gravy mixes in the house. There are times when I don't have any pan drippings but need a gravy to complete a meal.

    Just a typo in the Stuffin' Muffin recipe - bread should be "All BUT Gluten", you have "All Gluten".
