These Maple Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Blondies are a simple maple blondie filled with chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
At 4am my time this morning Canada played Sweden for the Gold medal.
Canada won that gold medal.
Canada also won the gold medal in Women’s Hockey as well…and that was a far more interesting game actually.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, winning the gold in hockey is what Canada cares the most about.
While proud of all the athletes in all the sports…hockey is truly what we worry about.
If you have never been or lived in Canada there is no way of conveying the importance of hockey to that nation.
Riding the public bus and looking over and seeing a goalie half-dressed out on his way to his game.
Getting your mini Zamboni in your happy meal.
It’s skating in your backyard that you dad or uncle or cousin threw together so you can skate on it.
People gathered in churches, bars, community centers, you name it to watch the games.
No matter what time of day.
People just don’t do that here in the states.
Which is why it won’t matter in two weeks to the majority of the US that their team took home the silver and not the gold.
It will matter to Canada for the next 4 years.
I couldn’t talk Canadian Olympic Hockey without making something with maple.
Enter these Maple Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Blondies.
Pretty simple but yummy all the same.
They are a maple blondie.
That I added chocolate chips and butterscotch chips to.
Because I had half a bag of each. 🙂
That’s literally how we roll around here.
Be sure to use Grade B maple syrup…it has better flavor plus bonus it is cheaper than Grade A.
Have a good week, eh?
Last but not least…it’s a great time to buy my cookbook.

Maple Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Blondies
Ingredients
- 2⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp. baking powder
- ¾ tsp. salt
- 14 TBSP unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup maple syrup, Grade B
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a 9-x-13-inch baking pan with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until completely combined.

Liz S. says
Blondies = my ultimate favorite baked good. Love this maple version!
Chris says
For my first gluten-free attempt, I think I’ll swap some toasted pecans for the chocolate chips…..if that’s OK with you!! Mouth-watering!!!
Jeanne H says
Gotta agree with Chris’s idea of using chopped pecans instead of chocolate and/or butterscotch chips. Don’t want any conflict with that mapley goodness! yum!
Rebecca says
The women’s gold medal match was a heart-stopper. At my (Canadian) workplace, not much work got done during that third period and the sudden death OT. And most of my friends and colleagues got up for 7 AM on a Sunday to watch the men’s gold medal match!

Hi there, I have been following your blog for a while now (years..) and never left a comment, so I thought I should let you know there is one more reader here 🙂 … from Canada eh!
I never made blondies before. I think I need to fix that, don’t I ;).
Nutmeg Nanny says

Oh these blondies look amazing 🙂 And I have contemplated moving to Canada several times. Canadians seem like my kind of people, plus I like watching hockey and if I move there I’ll love it more haha.
