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). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir 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 spices and leavening agent.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and to keep the blondies tender.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to ensure clean slices and optimal texture.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree for convenience and consistent moisture.
- Check doneness early to avoid overbaking and drying out the blondies.
- For a nutty flavor twist, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- White chocolate chips complement the pumpkin and spice flavors well, but you can substitute with semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips if preferred.
