Maple Butter Blondies

When I asked my husband what he wanted for dessert, he told me he needed a blondie. I’ve never had one before, but vaguely new what he was talking about, so off I went to do some researching. A blondie is a brownie, but flavoured with brown sugar instead of chocolate. Sounds appropriate and delicious, right? I have to tell you, this is one of the tastiest desserts I’ve ever made. The batter tasted like creamy cookie dough and the finished product did not disappoint. For the blondie, you will need:

• 1½ cups margarine or butter
• 1½ cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1½ cups flour
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

For the maple butter sauce, you will need:

• 2⁄3 cups sugar
• ½ cup whipping cream
• 1⁄3 cup butter
• 1 teaspoons maple extract/flavoring

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13″ pan with canola oil spray. In a stand mixer, blend butter and brown sugar. Add in baking powder, salt, vanilla, eggs and cream them. Mix in the flour and then fold in white chocolate chips and walnuts.

Smooth blondie mixture into pan with a spatula and bake 350°F for 30-45 minutes. I find these to be tricky to bake as the outsides start to brown while the inside is still very loose. However, cook until the middle is cooked, check often near the end!

Once the blondies are cooled enough to eat, you can make your sauce by combining first the sugar, whipping cream and butter in a sauce pan and bringing to a boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, remove from heat and add the maple flavoring.

While the blondies are still warm, cut them into whatever portion size you want, top with scoop(s) of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with sauce. They are very rich but the ice cream helps to ‘neutralize’ the sweetness!
