Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8  x 8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Add the egg, and vanilla extract and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl stir together the baking powder, spices, salt, and flour. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until just mixed and no clumps of flour remain. Fold in the toasted nuts. Do not over mix.
4. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading into an even layer.
5. Bake for 30 minutes or until the blondies are golden brown, set on the edges and have puffed up. The middle will still be undercooked, but they will continue to cook as they cool!
6. While the blondies cool, make the glaze. Combine the powdered sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream or milk, and salt in a bowl. Use a whisk to mix together until creamy and no lumps of sugar remain.
7. Pour the glaze over the cooled blondies and allow to harden before cutting into 9 squares for big blondies, or 16 squares for smaller portions. Enjoy!
