This maple traybake has become my go to dessert whenever I need something special but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. The beauty of it is that everything comes together in just twenty minutes of prep, then you pop it in the oven and you're done in thirty five minutes. I love using whole wheat flour here because it adds wonderful nutty flavor while giving you extra fiber compared to all purpose flour alone. The pure Canadian maple syrup is what makes this really shine, and the tartness from dried cranberries combined with walnuts keeps every bite interesting. It's honestly the easiest way to impress people without breaking a sweat or your budget.
