Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9” x 9” square pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper to create a sling, with an overhang on all four sides. Blondies: In a large pot, add the butter and melt over medium-low heat. Stirring constantly, brown the butter until it becomes foamy then turns a deep golden brown color. You’ll know it’s done when you see darker brown bits on the bottom and the butter has a nutty aroma. As soon as the butter is browned, remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the sugars and allow to cool slightly. Mix in the eggs, vanilla, and maple and whisk well, for about 30 seconds. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix with a spatula until only a few streaks of flour remain. Fold in the chopped pecans, reserving about 2 Tablespoons for the top. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with an offset spatula.Bake for 23 – 25 minutes, or until the blondies are set and the top is golden brown. Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and maple flavoring until combined. Add a splash more milk for a thinner consistency, if needed. Once the blondies are cool, cut them into squares, drizzle the glaze on top, sprinkle on the reserved pecan pieces and enjoy!View original recipe
