Maple Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together flour and baking powder., In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, melted butter and maple flavoring. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in flour mixture and walnuts. Spread into a greased 9-in. square baking pan., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 27-32 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour a 13x9"pan.
• Cream together butter and brown sugar.
• Beat in eggs until well mixed, and then beat in the maple syrup until blended.
• Beat in flour and baking powder.
• Mix in ground walnuts. ( Note: I don't like to grind the walnuts to powder - leave a few little nuggets for texture.).
• Spread batter evenly in pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min., or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Cool and cut into squares. (How many depends on the size you cut them).

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the syrup and mix well.
• Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Blend into the egg mixture.
• In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir into chocolate mixture. Stir in walnuts.
• Spread batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool, then dust with confectioners sugar.

Steps:

• Make the blondies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter the foil. Pulse 1/2 cup walnuts in a food processor until almost fine (do not overprocess). Whisk the ground nuts, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat 10 tablespoons butter and the brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until the blondies are light brown around the edges and spring back when pressed, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Place the maple syrup and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens, swirling the pan, about 6 minutes. Add the cream and continue to cook until the mixture is the consistency of caramel.
• Use the foil to lift the blondies out of the pan, then cut into large bars. Serve warm topped with ice cream, the maple-butter sauce and the walnuts.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease an 8" square pan.
• Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside.
• Melt butter and brown sugar together in the microwave or over a burner; remove from heat and stir in the syrup. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm (I let it sit for about an hour).
• Stir in the eggs one at a time, then the maple flavor.
• Stir in the dry ingredients, and finally the walnuts.
• Pour into prepared pan, and bake 25 minutes, just until the edges pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove from oven and cool before cutting and glazing.
• To make the glaze: Whisk all three ingredients together, adding more liquid if necessary to make a pourable glaze.
