Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter, cooled slightly
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 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

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop when just combined to keep blondies tender.
  5. Add white chocolate chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour and bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely (about 1 hour) before cutting into squares. For cleaner cuts, chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain moisture.
  • Use parchment paper with overhanging edges for easy removal from the pan.
  • Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly soft as it firms up while cooling.
  • Use room temperature eggs to prevent the melted butter from seizing.
  • Optional variations include swapping white chocolate chips for toasted nuts or semi-sweet chocolate chips, adding extra spices like ginger or allspice, or folding in bourbon-soaked raisins for an adult twist.
