Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and maple syrup until well combined.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and whisk until smooth.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts into the blondie batter.

Baking:

1. Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
3. Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
