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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is 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 leavening and spices.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for pockets of creamy sweetness.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares to maintain their shape and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to measure the flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off to avoid dense blondies.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips or chopped nuts for variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For a dairy-free version, use melted coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
