Easy to make and impossible to eat just one!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 each large eggs
- 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium. Cook, whisking constantly, until butter browns and smells nutty, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Immediately pour into a bowl. Place in freezer to cool, whisking every 5 minutes until thickened and creamy, about 20 minutes.
- Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until thickened and pale yellow, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Add to egg mixture in thirds, alternately with cooled butter, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating on low after each addition.
- Slowly beat in maple syrup; add vanilla, and beat just until combined.
- Fold in 1 cup of the pecans with a spoon.
- Pour batter into a greased and floured 13- x 9-inch baking pan, and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup pecans.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden and a wooden pick inserted in middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
- Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Cut into 24 bars.
