Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, browned and cooled
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • Maple Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar, sifted
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.
  2. Brown the butter in a saucepan until golden and nutty. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a mixer bowl, combine brown sugar, browned butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and eggs. Mix on medium speed until well blended.
  4. Reduce speed to low and add flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan using a spatula.
  6. Bake for 23–27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. While the blondies bake, melt butter and maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat.
  8. Whisk in the sifted confectioner’s sugar and pinch of salt until smooth.
  9. Pour the glaze over the warm blondies and spread evenly. Let it set for 20–30 minutes.
  10. Cut into bars and serve.
