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

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to ensure the blondies don’t stick.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the blondies tough.
  5. Fold in white chocolate chips: Add the white chocolate chips to the batter and fold them in evenly for sweet, melty pockets in every bite.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This helps them set perfectly for clean slices and optimal texture.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree without added spices or sugar for best results.
  • Make sure your melted butter is cooled slightly before mixing with the egg to prevent scrambling.
  • For a nuttier variation, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts along with the white chocolate chips.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To keep blondies moist, avoid overbaking; start checking at 25 minutes.
