Maple Walnut Brownies
Chewy, moist, and with assertive-yet-smooth maple flavor, these brownies are a great change from chocolate.
1 1/4 cups (5 1/4 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup (5 5/8 ounces) brown sugar
1/3 cup (3 1/4 ounces) maple syrup
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon maple flavor
3/4 cup (3 ounces) chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8" square pan.
Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside. Melt the butter and brown sugar together in the microwave or over a burner; remove from the heat and stir in the syrup. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm. Stir in the eggs one at a time, then the maple flavor. Stir in the dry ingredients, and finally the walnuts.
Pour into the prepared pan, and bake for 25 minutes, just until the edges pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove from the oven, and cool before cutting and glazing. Yield: sixteen 2" brownies.
Maple Glaze
1 cup (4 ounces) glazing sugar or confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons milk or cream
Whisk everything together, adding more liquid if necessary to make a pourable glaze.

I make these without the glaze. They're VERY popular with parents at events. I (as is my habit) substitute KA white whole wheat flour and they're perfect.

These came out delicious. My only recommendation is to make half the amount of glaze called for in the recipe. I drizzled the glaze on top rather than make an entire layer. I would imagine it being too sweet if you were to coat the whole top.

I've made these about a dozen times since discovering the recipe. My family loves them, and they are a snap to make. I add a bit of maple extract to the glaze to boost the maple flavor.

Good Flavor but they came out a little dry and mine came out a lot thinner than the picture.

These were fantastic. I had to leave the nuts out, due to a family allergy, but they were still wonderful.

Much to my surprise these do not need the glaze which actually overpowers the maple taste with just sweet. Easy to make and would recommend to everyone.
