Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 120 milliliters pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 60 grams chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the brown sugar and maple syrup until smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour remain. If using, fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Slice into 12 squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
