Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square pan with the canola oil and line it with parchment, leaving an overhang.
  2. Spread the walnuts on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes until fragrant; cool, then divide them: about two-thirds for the batter and the remaining one-third for the top.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the peanut butter until smooth.
  4. Whisk in the brown sugar and maple syrup until glossy, then whisk in the eggs one at a time and the vanilla.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  6. Fold the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture until just combined, then fold in the two-thirds portion of the toasted walnuts.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and scatter the remaining one-third of the walnuts over the top, pressing them in lightly.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan on a rack for at least 1 hour, then lift out by the parchment and cut into 12 bars.

Food safety: Don't taste raw dough or batter: raw flour and raw eggs can carry germs.
