Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour

Tips for the best results
Watch the butter closely: it goes from golden to burnt quickly. Pull the blondies when the center still looks slightly soft for the chewiest texture.
