To make these delicious maple brown sugar blondies, you need: - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup brown sugar, packed - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup - 2 large eggs - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional) You can swap ingredients if needed. Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option. Use light brown sugar instead of dark for a milder taste. If you don’t have maple syrup, honey works too. You can replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour. This helps to make these blondies fit your needs. Feel free to customize your blondies! You can add chopped nuts for crunch. Walnuts or pecans work nicely. White chocolate chips add sweetness. For a fun twist, mix in some chocolate chips or dried fruit. You can even add spices like cinnamon for extra warmth. Each add-in gives a unique flavor to your blondies. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial for even baking. Next, take a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Leave some paper hanging over the sides. This helps to lift the blondies out later. In a large bowl, add 1 cup of melted unsalted butter. Then, mix in 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth. Now, pour in 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup. Add 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Whisk again until creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This mix gives your blondies structure and helps them rise. If you want extra flavor, fold in 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips. Gently mix them into the batter. Don’t stir too much. You want to keep it light and fluffy. Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread it evenly for a nice bake. Place it in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The edges should be golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let the blondies cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then, use the parchment to lift them out. Cool them completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. To get that soft, chewy texture, don't over mix the batter. Mix just until the dry and wet ingredients blend. This keeps the blondies tender. Also, make sure your butter is melted but not too hot. Hot butter can cook the eggs, which makes the texture off. For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. The deeper notes will add a nice touch. You can also try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. These spices pair well with maple and add warmth. One big mistake is not measuring the flour correctly. Too much flour makes blondies dry. Use a spoon to fluff the flour before scooping it into your measuring cup. Another mistake is skipping the parchment paper. This paper helps you lift the blondies out easily. Without it, you might end up with a messy pan. {{image_2}} You can make nut-free blondies easily. Just leave out the chopped walnuts or pecans. You will still have a soft and chewy treat. The texture remains delightful without nuts. This option is great for those with nut allergies. You can enjoy the rich flavor of maple and brown sugar. Switching sweeteners can change your blondies. Instead of brown sugar, try coconut sugar. It gives a slight caramel taste. You can also use honey or agave syrup instead of maple syrup. Each sweetener brings a unique flavor. Experiment to find your favorite blend. This adds a personal touch to your dessert. You can play with flavors in your blondies. Add chocolate chips for a sweet twist. Dark or milk chocolate both work well. You can also add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth. These spices pair nicely with maple flavor. For a fun twist, try adding espresso powder for a coffee kick. Each variation creates a new experience. Enjoy discovering new flavor profiles! To keep your blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container. Use parchment paper to separate the layers if you stack them. Blondies stay tasty for up to a week at room temperature. If you want them to last longer, refrigerate them. This helps keep the flavors strong and moist. You can freeze blondies for later enjoyment. First, let them cool completely. Then, wrap each blondie tightly in plastic wrap. Place wrapped blondies in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can stay frozen for up to three months. When you are ready to eat, just thaw them in the fridge overnight. To enjoy warm blondies, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the blondies on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 10 minutes. You can also use the microwave. Heat individual pieces for about 15-20 seconds. This will make them soft and gooey, just like fresh out of the oven! Blondies are sweet bars made with brown sugar. They are like brownies but without cocoa. They have a rich, chewy texture and a golden color. Blondies can be made plain or with add-ins like nuts and chocolate chips. They are a great treat for any time of day. Yes, you can make these blondies vegan. Replace the eggs with flax eggs or applesauce. Use vegan butter instead of regular butter. Choose maple syrup that is vegan-friendly. This way, you can enjoy a delicious treat without animal products. You can check if blondies are done by looking at the edges. They should be golden brown. Insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. If it is wet, bake for a few more minutes. Maple brown sugar blondies pair well with vanilla ice cream. A drizzle of caramel sauce makes them even better. You can serve them with a cup of coffee or tea. Adding fresh berries can give a nice touch too. Blondies can last up to a week when stored properly.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some excess to hang over the sides for easy removal later.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until well blended and smooth.

      Add the maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until fully combined and the mixture is creamy.

        In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.

            If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and white chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

              Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

                  Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
