  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth and combined.

  4. Combine Dry Ingredients:In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

  6. Optional Add-In:If desired, fold in chopped walnuts for a crunchy texture.
  7. Bake:Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan.
  8. Prepare the Glaze:In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and cinnamon. Adjust the milk to achieve a drizzle-like consistency.
  9. Glaze and Serve:Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blondies and let it set before cutting into squares. Enjoy your Gooey Maple Cinnamon Blondies!
