- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in most of the chopped pecans, reserving some for the topping.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Drizzle the maple syrup over the batter. Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans over the maple syrup.
- Dollop the remaining batter over the pecan and maple syrup layer.
- Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the top layer of batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For an extra maple flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of maple extract to the batter.
- Ensure your pecans are toasted for a richer flavor.
- These blondies are best enjoyed at room temperature.
