Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the maple syrup until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined—take care not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans using a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown edges form and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
