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.

Sensory Boxes
My online mommy group got me thinking that I need to find more fun activities to do with my kids while we're inside. Yesterday I put together sensory boxes for my 3 year old. She loved them. Her favourites were the rice and cornmeal boxes. She would play with the others too but always ended up back in those two. Pictures and instructions are in today's blog.
