Bacon Month rolls on with Lauren K’s White Chocolate Bacon Blondies with Maple Glaze recipe!

White Chocolate Bacon Blondies with Maple Glaze

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Bake Time: 30-35 minutes

Serves 18

Ingredients

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, room temperature

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons maple flavoring or extract, divided

1 cup white chocolate chips

8 bacon slices, cooked, crumbled and divided

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

¼ cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and 1 teaspoon maple flavoring. Mix in the flour until well combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips and half of the chopped bacon. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven to cool.

While the blondies bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of maple extract in a medium mixing bowl for the glaze. When the blondies have cooled, pour the glaze over the surface of the blondies and top with bacon. Cut into 18 squares and serve!
