Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- 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 and maple extract.
- In a separate medium 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.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips and toasted pecans.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- 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
- To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until fragrant.
- For a chewier blondie, bake for a shorter amount of time. For a cakier blondie, bake for a bit longer.
- You can substitute other nuts like walnuts if you prefer.
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
