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 prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to ensure the blondies don’t stick.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
