Description
Maple Walnut Blondie Bars are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of maple syrup and crunchy walnuts, offering a chewy texture and sweet, buttery taste.
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup (113 grams), melted
- Brown sugar: 1 cup (200 grams), packed
- Maple syrup: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup (125 grams)
- Baking powder: 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams)
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram)
- Chopped walnuts: 1/2 cup (60 grams)
- Ground cinnamon: a pinch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares or bars.
Notes
- Overmixing the batter can lead to dense blondies.
- Accurate measurements are crucial for baking success.
- Allow the blondies to cool before cutting to prevent them from falling apart.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
- Check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
