Skillet Maple-Pecan Campfire Blondies
Golden blondies baked on the campfire in a cast iron skillet, loaded with crunchy pecans and rich maple syrup for a chewy, caramel-scented treat. Slice and share straight from the skillet.
Equipment
- 10-inch cast iron skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Lightly oil or butter the skillet.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
- Add egg and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
- Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in chopped pecans.
- Spread the batter evenly in the skillet.
- Place covered skillet over a ring of campfire coals. Cover with foil or a lid to reflect heat.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, rotating occasionally, until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey.
- Let cool 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
Keep the skillet over medium-low coals for steady baking. Rotate often for even cooking. Foil keeps ash out if your skillet lacks a lid.
