Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon maple extract (or alcohol-free vanilla extract)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and light brown sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the egg, pure maple syrup, and maple extract. Whisk again until the batter looks shiny and uniform.
- Slowly stir in the all-purpose flour and salt. Use a spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spread the batter into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
- Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
