Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy!  Maple Pecan Blondies Makes 9-12 servings Original recipe from Bigger Bolder Baking Ingredients ¾ cup butter, melted or browned 1¼ cups dark brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup 1 large egg  2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda I ¼ cups pecans, toasted and chopped  Directions   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment. Gemma used 8x8 but I like my bars thinner. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the flour and baking soda just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. They middle should be slightly jiggly but they still taste yummy if you over-bake them. Allow to co

Hummus

Hummus is one of the things I've been eating a lot for the past few weeks, but the store-bought ones always taste better than the ones I have made. It'll add some protein to your meal without having to cook anything. If you're too lazy to cook beans, just put hummus on everything instead.

Try not to buy one that has canola oil in it. Don't be fooled - canola is NOT a healthy oil. I stopped using canola oil and margarine a long time ago.

Here are some pictures of ways I use hummus, for your viewing pleasure.

It's great on avocado toast.

Dress up some rice cakes. This is a beet hummus.

Here are some hummus recipes that look delicious. Maybe I'll give them a try one day.
