Maple Blondies
Soft and tender like a brownie, these Maple Blondies are full of a wonderful lightly spiced maple flavor, making it perfect for fall gatherings.
Ingredients
For the Blondies:
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons maple extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the icing:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350*F.
- Grease an 8x8 baking pan.
- Using a stand mixer or bowl and electric beater, combine the softened butter and the brown sugar.
- Add the eggs and extracts and beat until batter begins to lighten and gets a little fluffier, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine the dry ingredients with a whisk or fork in a small bowl.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, just until well incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the greased 8x8 pan and bake for 25-35 minutes. Just like with a brownie, be careful not to over bake! They are done as soon as the top is matte and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Combine powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and cardamom in a small bowl and mix until lumps are gone.
- Smooth over cooled blondies and enjoy!
