Glazed Maple Pecan Blondies

  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings 1x

Description

These easy, chewy blondies feature a rich maple glaze and toasted pecans. They are dense, fudgy, and perfect for busy weeknights or bake sales.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides, and grease the parchment.
  2. Melt the butter in the microwave or a saucepan. Let it cool slightly so it is warm but not piping hot.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla for about 2 minutes until glossy and thickened.
  4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped toasted pecans and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and the center looks slightly soft. Insert a toothpick to check; it should come out with moist crumbs.
  7. While blondies bake, make the glaze: Heat maple syrup and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until simmering. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
  8. Pour the warm glaze over the hot blondies immediately after removing them from the oven.
  9. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and flaky sea salt.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan (at least 30 minutes) before cutting into squares.

Notes

Toast pecans for enhanced flavor. Do not overbake; blondies will firm up as they cool. Use pure maple syrup for the best glaze flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
