Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal after baking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the melted butter, then add the packed brown sugar and maple syrup. Whisk the mixture together until it becomes smooth and creamy. Next, add the eggs one at a time, ensuring you whisk thoroughly after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This process helps avoid clumps and ensures an even distribution of the leavening agents.

        Integrate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; it's perfectly fine to have a few small lumps in the batter.

          Add Pecans and Optional Chips: Carefully fold in the chopped pecans and white chocolate chips (if desired) until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. The blondies are ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

              Cool and Cut: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the blondies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Using the parchment overhang, lift them out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting them into squares.

                Serve: Indulge in these scrumptious Maple Pecan Blondies either warm or at room temperature. They are delightful on their own or perfectly complemented by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
