Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for sauce)
• 0.33 cup maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir until fully dissolved and combined.

Step 3

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla until smooth.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the chopped walnuts.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts on top.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to ensure a chewy texture.

Step 9

Meanwhile, prepare the maple butter sauce by beating the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.

Step 10

In a small saucepan, melt 0.5 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the maple syrup and the cream cheese mixture until heated and smooth. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 11

Once the blondie is done baking, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing into squares.

Step 12

To serve, place a warm blondie square on a plate, drizzle with the maple butter sauce, and optionally top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
