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
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan thoroughly to ensure the blondies don’t stick.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This blends the leavening agent with the spices and flour evenly.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the blondies tender. Then gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps to set their structure and enhances serving.
Notes
- Ensure the pumpkin puree is not too watery to maintain the right batter consistency.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for variation.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or cloves to the dry ingredients.
