Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Add the pure maple syrup and brown sugar to the melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract until combined. Then, add this mixture to the butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. This will help to aerate the dry ingredients and ensure there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 squares. Serve as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
Tips
- Use high-quality pure maple syrup - the flavor makes all the difference!
- Don't overmix the batter; this keeps the brownies tender and fudgy.
- Check brownies early: Every oven is different, so start checking around 25 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- For extra richness, use room temperature eggs to help them blend more smoothly.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, perfect squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days for maximum freshness.
- For an elegant touch, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra maple syrup before serving.
