Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick, melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped (toasted pecans)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8" pan with tin foil and spray with non stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar and whisk until smooth. Add egg and whisk until combined. Add vanilla, salt, and flours and stir just until combined.
  • Stir in pecans and spread into prepared pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Set aside.
  • Frosting: In a small pot, combine brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, and boil for 3-4 minutes until it comes together (it will be smooth and look like caramel). Stir in butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Spread immediately over blondies. (If frosting firms up before you spread, you can always reheat it, or add a little more milk and try again). Sprinkle with toasted pecans.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature before slicing. Store in air tight container for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
