Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Then gently fold in the white chocolate chips for pockets of sweetness throughout the batter.
- Bake the blondies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to ensure they hold their shape and have the perfect texture.
Notes
- Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best texture and flavor.
- Check doneness starting at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking which can dry out the blondies.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cloves or ginger.
- White chocolate chips can be substituted with walnuts or pecans for a nutty variation.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
