Instructions

For the Blondies

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Serve blondies topped with maple butter sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
    • Flour: Measure your flour by spooning it into your measuring cup and then leveling it off with a knife. Do not scoop your flour into the measuring cup, as you'll likely use too much.
    • Brown Sugar: Both light and brown sugar work fine. When you measure it, pack it down in the cup.
    • Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup if possible. It has a richer flavor and no corn syrup!
Krystle's Tips
  • Line Your Pan: Line your pan with nonstick foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients to help everything combine smoothly.
  • Don't Overmix: Mix until the flour just disappears. Overmixing will lead to a tough, dense blondie.
  • Don't Overbake: Blondies are done when a toothpick inserted a few inches from the center comes out clean. It's okay if the middle is still a little underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
  • Knife Hack: Cut with a plastic knife instead of a metal one because they're naturally nonstick.
