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

Simple Banana Bread Muffins

One good thing is coming out of staying at home during this COVID-19 outbreak - we are cooking almost all of our meals and treats at home now. I will admit that we have been eating from restaurants way too much over the past few years. This is helping us break the habit.

Sometimes I make my favourite recipes which are posted here on my blog, and sometimes I try new ones like this easy recipe for banana bread muffins. 

The original recipe says it makes 12 muffins but my kids can never stop at one. I decided to make 20 smaller ones for that reason.


Simple Banana Bread Muffins
Adapted from Twins and Coffee
Makes 12-20 Muffins

Ingredients
  • 3 medium bananas, very ripe
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup oil (I use avocado in my baking - mine has no flavour)
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon (I left this out)
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line your muffin tins with 12-20 liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash together bananas, egg, vanilla and oil. It's okay if it's lumpy.
  3. Sift the dry ingredients into the same bowl (because I don't wanna wash 2 bowls), and fold everything together just until combined.
  4. Divide the mixture among your prepared muffin cups and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
  5. Cool in the pan before serving.
