Description

These caramel pecan blondies are the ultimate fall treat, combining gooey caramel, crunchy toasted pecans, and a buttery blondie base. Perfect for parties or cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups (300g) brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (90g) chopped, toasted pecans
1/4 cup (60ml) caramel sauce or melted caramels

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet mixture using a spatula.
Stir in chopped, toasted pecans and drizzle in caramel sauce or melted caramels, swirling gently to create ribbons.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Add a few extra pecans and caramel drizzles on top for decoration.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and slicing into squares.

Notes

If your caramel sinks to the bottom, it will create a chewy layer that’s equally delicious. Toast pecans beforehand to enhance their flavor, and avoid overmixing the batter to keep the blondies light.
