Maple Bourbon Bars

white whole wheat flour (plus 1 tablespoon)

all purpose flour

baking powder

salt

unsalted butter

dark brown sugar

maple syrup

bourbon ((if you prefer to

vanilla extract

eggs

walnuts

sugar

bourbon (or milk

Prep

Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray, line with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs on the sides, grease once more, and set aside.

Stir

In a small bowl, stir together the white whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Brown

Place the butter in a large saucepan and over medium-low heat. Once the butter melts, it will foam, turn clear golden, then begin to turn brown and smell nutty. Whisk often, scraping up any bits from the bottom. Watch the pan very carefully, as the butter will brown very soon after it begins to color and can burn quickly. Once the butter is deep golden and very fragrant, remove it from heat.

Whisk

Whisk the brown sugar, maple syrup, and bourbon into the saucepan with the browned butter until smooth. Let cool to lukewarm, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla.

Fold

Pour the maple butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk by hand until combined. Fold in the chopped toasted walnuts.

Pour

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the bars pull away from the sides of the pan slightly. For clean cutting, let cool completely. Use the parchment paper overhang as “handles” to transfer to a cutting board.

Glaze

To prepare the glaze, whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Drizzle over bars, then slice bars into desired sizes and serve.
