All Too Well Maple Pecan Blondies with Cinnamon ‘Scarf’ Swirl

"Create a nostalgic, home-baker dessert called All Too Well Kitchen-Light Maple Pecan Blondies (with Cinnamon ‘Scarf’ Swirl), inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ (5-minute). Vibe: late-night memory, soft July air, bittersweet and warm.Core: unsalted butter (browned), light brown sugar, real maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, all-purpose flour, baking powder, fine salt, ground cinnamon, chopped pecans (optional).Scarf swirl: quick paste of brown sugar + cinnamon + a little melted butter (or 2–3 Tbsp raspberry jam for a ‘red scarf’ option).Method: brown butter to deep amber; cool briefly. Whisk in brown sugar, maple, eggs, vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and pecans. Spread in a lined 8×8 or 9×9 pan; spoon the cinnamon swirl (or jam) in ribbons and drag a knife to make a soft ‘scarf’ pattern. Bake at 350°F until glossy on top and a tester has moist crumbs (about 22–28 min).Serve: cut into 16 warm squares; finish with a pinch of flaky salt (optional).Include: yield 16; total time ~35–40 min; exact amounts (cups/grams); step-by-step browning cues (foam → amber → nutty), doneness cues (edges set, center chewy), storage (airtight 3–4 days; freeze up to 2 months).Swaps: gluten-free (1:1 GF flour), dairy-free (plant butter), nut-free (omit pecans), egg-free (flax eggs).Plating: golden, cinnamon-laced squares with soft ‘scarf’ swirls—quiet, tender, fully home-kitchen accessible"
