Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for browning)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Combine Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the warm brown butter and whisk until well combined.
  4. Mix in Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup until smooth.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing for a tender texture.
  6. Fold in Nuts: If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts to add crunch and flavor.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

Notes

  • For best flavor, do not burn the butter; it should turn golden brown with a nutty aroma.
  • Use parchment paper to make removing blondies easier.
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans complement the maple flavor nicely but can be omitted for a nut-free version.
  • If you prefer a sweeter blondie, drizzle extra maple syrup on top before serving.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
