Ingredients
  

Blondies

  • ¾ cup salted butter
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp maple flavoring
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup pecans toasted
  • ½ cup white baking chips

Maple Cream Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp maple flavoring

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs, vanilla, and maple flavoring and mix well.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir into creamed mixture. Add nuts and white chocolate chips.
  • Spread into a well greased and parchment lined 7×11" pan.
  • Bake at 350° for about 22-25 minutes. Top will be shiny and golden brown. Don't over-bake!
  • For sauce: Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil for 2-4 minutes. The longer it cooks, the thicker it gets. Keep in mind that it will also thicken as it cools.

Notes

  • I like to use an 11x7 inch pan, but you can use a 9x13 inch pan. The blondies will just won't be quite as thick. You may need to decrease the baking time by about 5 minutes.
  • Nutritional information does not include vanilla ice cream.
