Make Maple Pecan Chocolate Chip Blondies: A Simple Method

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy. Add in the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and pure maple syrup until fully combined.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix just until no streaks remain. Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
• Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan set on a cooling rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
