Pecan Blondies
A simple, one-bowl recipe that packs a punch with its flavor of brown sugar, pecans, butter and vanilla. The carmelized tops are dusted with powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Place 2 tablespoons of cold butter into an 8x8 nonstick metal pan. Place pan in preheated oven until butter is completely melted and starting to brown ever so slightly. Remove from oven and set aside. Be careful of splattering butter.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk eggs until pale and thick. Add all at once the remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Carefully pour batter on top of the hot melted butter in the pan.
- Cook for 20-25 minnutes. Cake is done when it leaves the edges of the pan. Place pan on wire rack and let cool completely. Cut into 9 squares and remove gently with metal spatula. Invert the bars so the bottom now becomes the top. Lightly dust with powdered sugar.
