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.

These are absolutely fantastic! I ended up browning the butter in the glaze too, and I highly recommend that to anyone trying this recipe. Thank you for posting this!
These are simply A. MAZ. ING !!! My co-worker asked me, “Why don’t you share any of that with us?” I answered honestly, “Because I want it all to myself! I deserve it!” BLAM!
These ARE incredible just like you said! They will be my new default dessert from here to eternity! Thank you!
These were delicious! Such a great fall treat. I loved the texture and balance of flavors. Thanks for the recipe!
Awesome share.
I made these cause I was craving a brown butter dessert lol and I found these on Pinterest. There’s soooo amazing, oh my word! I’m obsessed with the way the nuttiness of the brown butter goes with the sweetness of the maple syrup! 1000% making these again(but I might add some walnuts next time)
I have made these 4 times . I have added oats and sliced almonds, (because my partners request for more texture.)Apples , and more nuts , even used figs because i had so many. The flavor is so amazing and easy to make .
Wow! They are so yummy! They are so moist and just enough sweet for my sugar cravings! I will definitely be doing it again!
Oh, these bars are dangerous. I have only made them once (so far), but they were just unbelievably good. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. It was the first time I browned butter! I look forward to having these again very, very soon.
I made these today for a dinner party and they are INCREDIBLE. Simple ingredients, basic instructions, and a hands-down winning dessert. Thank you!
