Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Cream the Sugars and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Add Eggs and Maple Syrup: Mix in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Then stir in the maple syrup until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Stir in Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares.
Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
