Ingredients

For the blondies

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter not margarine
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup maple sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour

For the glaze

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Make the blondies

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line the pan with parchment paper that hangs over the edges so you can lift the blondies from the pan. If you don't have parchment, grease the pan really well. Set aside. 
  • In a skillet over medium-low heat, add the butter and melt. It will start to bubble and pop and then get quiet and start to foam slightly. Stir gently but constantly 5-6 minutes until the butter solids in the bottom of the pan start to get golden brown. Make sure you are watching the bottom of the pan and not the foam on top. When the butter smells nutty and is golden, remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly. 
  • Let the butter cool 5 minutes then add the brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla and salt. Stir to combine. 
  • Add the flour and stir until just combined. 
  • Bake 20-22 minutes for gooey blondies and 22-25 minutes for more solid ones. Remove from the oven and allow to cool 10-15 minutes. 

Make the glaze

  • In a small sauce pan add the butter, maple syrup, brown sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer and whisk two minutes and remove from heat. Drizzle over the blondies and serve
