You’re going to love these Maple Bacon Blondies! From the chewy blondie base, to the sweet maple frosting and salty bacon, these will be gone in no time!
Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, blend the brown sugar with melted butter. Add in eggs and vanilla, stir until combined. Add salt, flour, and maple flavoring, mixing until well blended. Pour into prepared baking dish.
Bake for 32-35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
For the frosting, beat butter with powdered sugar, maple flavoring and milk until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Spread over COOLED blondies. Sprinkle with cooked bacon.
Notes
Store any leftover blondies in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for about 3 days.
Add crumbled bacon to the top of the blondies before serving since refrigerated bacon will be soft instead of crunchy. And cook the bacon to crunchy so it starts off with the best texture!
Make sure the blondies are completely cooled before frosting. Otherwise, your buttercream will melt.
