Maple Toffee Bars
These Maple Toffee Bars are easy to make and require just a few simple ingredients. Let’s dive into the recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure maple extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal of the bars.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the pure maple extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the toffee bits and, if desired, the chopped walnuts for an added crunch.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges start to pull away from the sides and the center is set.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy this deliciousness!
