Ingredients
- 11 Tbsp unsalted butter, partially melted (in other words, half the quantity should be melted or almost melted)
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp maple extract, optional find it online here.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F Lightly grease and line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper sling for easy removal after baking. Note: you can do without the parchment if you want to serve your blondies right from the pan.
- Blend the butter and sugar together well in a mixing bowl. Beat in the egg and maple syrup, then blend in the extracts.
- Sift in the flour, soda, and salt and then gently stir to combine. When almost fully blended, add 1 1/4 cups of the walnuts (save the last 1/4 cup for sprinkling on the top) and continue to fold until everything is incorporated, but don't over mix.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out. Sprinkle the reserved walnuts over the top and press down just lightly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges look done and the center is not jiggling. Let cool for 15-20 minutes before gently lifting out the blondies with the parchment sling to cool completely on a rack.
