Fall Dessert Recipe
The leaves are starting to change.
While I was driving down the road the other day, I noticed trees with patches of buttery yellow leaves. Shades of butterscotch and gold were just beginning to make their appearance as well. I have yet to see any scarlet red leaves but I know they are on the horizon. What a beautiful time autumn is!
Hayrides. Corn mazes. Apple picking. Porches decorated to the brim with mums and an assortment of gourds and pumpkins. There is nothing quite like the fall season.
Come October or sometimes as early as September, fall flavored food, scents and products make their way on to the scene. And what is the most popular fall flavor, should you ask?
Pumpkin, of course.
Followed closely by apple. Cinnamon spice and caramel are also in the running. Everywhere you go there are pumpkin flavored coffees, desserts and baked goods. Apple pie, apple cider and caramel apples make an appearance. And who could forget the shops featuring salted caramel mochas? The list of fall favorites is never ending.
As delicious as these fall flavors are, I think they overshadow other delectable tastes. One such delight being maple.
Easy Maple Dessert
The fall favorite flavor in the spotlight this season is maple! And what better way to highlight the classic maple flavoring than in a from scratch dessert recipe? A change-up from the standard chocolate brownie, these maple-flavored bars are moist, buttery with just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite part about this recipe is that they are an easy-to-make dessert that can be created during a busy week night or even on a quiet Saturday evening when you are craving an extra special treat.
This maple brownie recipe makes an entire 9 x 13 pan so they are perfect to serve to dinner guests or bring along to a church potluck. I prefer to use sucanat, an unrefined cane sugar, for its natural vitamins and minerals and deep molasses flavor but brown sugar can be swapped in equal amounts if you’d prefer to use it instead.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Healthy brownie recipe. Let’s be honest. Most of us don’t think of the word healthy when we see a plate of freshly baked brownies … although we all wish it was considered a health food. We choose to eat it because it is a treat that satisfies the sweet tooth. With that being said, this healthier version of a maple brownie is made with fresh ground flour, sucanat (an unrefined sugar with vitamins and minerals), real butter and real eggs.
Made with freshly milled flour. Baking a batch of brownies with fresh ground flour, such as soft white wheat, ensures your homemade dessert is full of the most nutrients, vitamins and fiber.

Tips for Baking Brownies From Scratch
- Use high quality maple extract or flavoring.
- A light metal pan works best for baking brownies.
- For quick clean up, you can line your pan with parchment paper or a foil sling.
- Brownies can easily dry out if they are over baked. Keep an eye on them! They are done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs.
