What you gonna do:
1. Preheat oven to 325F. Grease 9x13-inch baking pan, line bottom and sides of pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the pecan blondies: in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.

6. Fold in the ground pecans.
7. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Cover the top with the pecans.
8. Bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20-22 min’s.
9. Let cool in the pan until it reaches room temperature.
10. Make the maple glaze: in a bowl, whisk together maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth.
11. Cut blondies into 36 squares, drizzle with glaze.
