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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour remain. If using, fold in the chopped pecans.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Slice into 12 squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
