Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for sauce)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave, then let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and whisk until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using). Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Let the blondie cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

While the blondie cools, prepare the maple butter sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, 1/2 cup butter, and heavy cream over medium heat.

Step 10

Stir the mixture until the butter is fully melted, then whisk in the powdered sugar until the sauce is smooth. Keep warm.

Step 11

To serve, slice the blondie into squares and place one on a dessert plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle generously with warm maple butter sauce.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent treat!
