Maple Butter Blondies
If you are looking for a dessert that will impress any guest, you have to try these Maple Butter Blondies. It’s different enough from a typical dessert to be fun, while also having a flavor that’s tasty enough to please any crowd. The dense, rich and chewy texture is much like a brownie and perfect served with ice cream. A blondie recipe like this one is similar to a chocolate brownie, but it is made with brown sugar, butter, and vanilla rather than cocoa, giving it a butterscotch flavor instead of the standard chocolate one.
The Best Blondie Recipe
I have to admit that this is an inspired dessert. I was first spurred to make this blondie recipe after trying my first blondie ever at Applebee’s. I’ll never forget the first time I tried it—my life was changed! This dessert is so over-the-top good because it pairs sweet maple butter blondies with vanilla ice cream and a warm maple butter sauce. It is basically a blondie version of a brownie hot fudge sundae. You can find brownie hot fudge sundaes on the dessert menu at many restaurants, but only Applebee’s is the only major chain that offers the Maple Butter Blondie. Thankfully you don’t have to make a trip to Applebee’s to enjoy the best blondie recipe ever. I am not joking, this blondie recipe is the best dessert I have ever had. It is just as good, if not better than the dessert at Applebee’s. This dessert is so buttery, rich, and positively sinful. My whole family was raving about these blondies, especially the maple butter sauce. Your family will rave about this one too!
Tips for Baking and Storing Maple Butter Blondies
The best part about this recipe is they are so easy to make! The prep time is less than 5 minutes and then you can make the sauce while the blondies are in the oven. Whisk all the ingredients together in a mixer on medium speed, then pour into a 13-inch baking pan. Chop a cup walnuts by hand or throw them in a food processor before adding to the batter.Stir the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan on the stove, using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides down to avoid burning.Insider’s tip: it is very important to make sure that the maple butter blondies cool all the way before you cut them. It is hard to wait because they smell so good coming out of the oven, but trust me, it is worth it.If you happen to somehow have any leftovers, the blondies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter, or covered with plastic wrap.
Additions and Substitutions
Just like brownies, this blondie recipe can be made with or without nuts. I like to add about a walnuts or pecans to each recipe.Substitute butterscotch chips for white chocolate chips.Scoop vanilla ice cream or butter pecan ice cream over each slice.
