Ingredients

White Chocolate Blondies

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
10 tablespoon butter melted
2 cups brown sugar packed
2 eggs room temperature
2 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts chopped

Maple Sauce

⅓ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup brown sugar packed
4 tablespoon butter
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

White Chocolate Blondies

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 pan with a parchment sling or spray well with baking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
In a large bowl, use a handmixer on low speed to combine the melted butter and brown sugar until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
10 tablespoon butter, 2 cups brown sugar
Add eggs and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed for 1 minute. Scrape bowl.
2 eggs, 2 tablespoon vanilla
Add half the flour mixture and mix on low until just combined. Scraped the bowl and repeat with the remaining flour mixture.
Add white chocolate chips and walnuts and mix on low until just combined. Don't overmix.
1 cup white chocolate chips, 1 cup walnuts
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan (the batter will be thick). Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist, fudgy crumbs. Allow to cool fully in the pan.

Maple Sauce

While the blondies are baking, make the maple sauce. In a microwave safe dish, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar and butter. Microwave on high for 1.5-2.5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the sugar is fully dissolved.
⅓ cup maple syrup, ⅓ cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoon butter
Remove from microwave and add heavy cream and vanilla. Stir to combine. Makes about 1¼ cups of maple sauce.
½ cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Slice the cooled blondies and serve with vanilla ice cream and maple sauce.

Notes

Tips & Tricks

Line the pan with a parchment sling to remove the blondies easily.
Cut the blondies with a sharp knife after refrigerating for the straightest lines.
Vanilla, maple, and white chocolate are the main flavors in the blondies and maple sauce. Use quality, real ingredients for all of them.
Be careful to not overbake. Blondies get very dry when overbaked, so remove them when there are still moist crumbs on the toothpick.

Freezer Instructions

Cool completely, then wrap in a layer of plastic wrap and outer layer of tinfoil (alternatively, cut the brownies and store the slices in a zipper bag). Freeze for up to 3 months. Store the sauce in an airtight jar or container (leaving room in the top for expansion) and freeze for up to 3 months.
