In one word, my Maple Blondies are unreal! I swear every time I post them, folks go crazy online. They are legit so buttery and nutty from the brown butter and chewy plus I add in that bomb fall maple flavor that really gives them a punch. I seriously love them and apparently y’all do too.

How to Make Maple Blondies
Step 1: Make the blondies- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a 9×13 sized pan with parchment paper making sure to allow some of the paper to come up the sides of the pan. In your mixer bowl, add brown sugar, browned butter, syrup, vanilla and eggs and mix on medium speed until well combined. Slow mixer down to low speed and add flour, salt and baking soda and mix until combined. Add blondie batter to parchment paper and spread out using a spatula. Bake for 23-27 minutes or until toothpick in center comes out clean.
Step 2: Make the glaze- While blondies bake, add butter to a pan over low heat along with syrup and allow butter to melt together with syrup. Once butter melts, quickly whisk in sifted confectioner’s sugar and salt ensuring there are no lumps and spread on warm blondies. Allow glaze to set then cut blondies in bars and serve.

Recipe Tips
- When browning butter for the first time, it’s important to keep your eye on it. Use your senses, and smell the butter. Use a light colored saucepan so you can see the color. It should be a deep caramel color. Just watch so it doesn’t burn.
- Don’t Overmix when you add the dry ingredients. We want the blondies to stay chewy and not get tough.
- Definitely Sift your powdered sugar so your glaze won’t be lumpy. It will be nearly impossible to smooth out.

I made these and they were delicious but they did not rise at all. I baked them the correct time and temp but they seemed under cooked. Should I have added baking powder or anything?
They aren’t really supposed to rise, they are a denser brownie. So you didn’t do anything wrong!
Made these for a party, and they were a hit! A friend took one bite and had to sit quietly for a moment, because she was shocked by how good they were. That’s about the biggest compliment food can get, I feel.
These will definitely be a go-to for me now!
Love it! So glad they were a hit!
I made these for my house and my sister has been hooked ever since. I made her batch for her bday it’s been a new tradition THEY ARE AMAZING!! Melt in your mouth buttery brown maple goodness
Thank you so much! That’s so awesome that everyone liked them!!
I have made these so many times and they are amazing.
Thank you so so much Beth!
Today the temp Dropped signiFicantly so it was the perfect day to make these. Not only were they super easy to make, my house smells like everything Fall!
Everyone enjoyed them and we decided to make twice as much next time- which will be tomorrow!
Ha I love that! Enjoy them!
So delicious! Very cosy and autumnal, thanks so much!
Thanks, doll!
This is on repeat at our house and one son requests it as his birthday “cake”! Outstanding recipe that’s easy to make! Thanks so much!!
Wow! I am so happy to hear that! That you for making it!!
These turned out absolutely delicious. I will say, they are VERY sweet, and you could easily cut down on the brown sugar, maple syrup, and/or confectioners sugar a bit, without compromising taste.
Thank you for the feedback!
I was just wondering about that. I live in a non-maple syrup country now, but have a secret stash of ‘maple flavouring’, so I’m going to try to make these without the maple syrup in the baking part, and just use the flavouring. Maybe that’ll be just enough to cut the sugar part. But don’t worry! I’ll use my Canadian maple syrup for the glaze!
I made these today for thanksgiving and they were amazing! I found that tonight they taste even better after sitting all day. I highly recommend this recipe!
Thank you so so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
