These maple, pecan & white chocolate blondies will have everyone raving about you for weeks - that's if you can bring yourself to share them of course! They have the gooey texture of a brownie but without the richness of chocolate, perfect for those who aren't big chocolate lovers.
These blondies can be made without an electric whisk, but for the best results you want to whisk the eggs and the sugar until light and fluffy (2-3mins with an electric whisk). As a bonus they also use little plain flour - something that is currently hard to come by in these quarantine times!
Blondies/brownies are best left to cool in the tin and put in the fridge overnight to get maximum fudginess (and are then also easier to slice), but if you're like me and can't wait even 2 minutes after they are out the oven then they also taste perfect with a dollop (or two) of vanilla ice cream.
Recipe
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25-30 minutes
Makes: 16 blondies
Ingredients:
125g Butter
150g White Chocolate
60ml Maple Syrup
2 Eggs
90g Light Brown Sugar*
130g Caster Sugar
105g Plain Flour
100g Pecans
*If you don't have brown sugar just substitute for caster sugar.
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a square tin (approx. 20x20cm) with butter and baking parchment.
Melt the butter with 50g of the white chocolate (either in the microwave in 20s intervals or in a bowl over hot water) and allow to cool.
Whisk the eggs with both sugars for 2-3 minutes (electric whisk) or longer (if using a hand whisk) until pale and fluffy.
Add the butter/chocolate mixture to the egg mixture along with the maple syrup and whisk to combine.
Sift in the flour and fold in until it is almost completely combined.
Chop the rest of the chocolate into chunks and the pecans in half and fold into the mixture until everything is combined (no flour should be visible).
Pour the mixture into the tin and spread until even. Bake for 25-30 minutes (25 if you want gooey).
Allow cool in the tin and set in the fridge overnight or 3-4 hours before slicing. Alternatively let cool and dive in straight away or just tuck in while they're still warm!
