Description
Dense, chewy pumpkin blondies made with silky pumpkin puree, warm spices, and sweet white chocolate chips — a cozy fall dessert that comes together in one bowl.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup (80g) pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger (optional)
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract; whisk until combined.
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in white chocolate chips and optional nuts.
- Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are golden and the center looks slightly underdone.
- Cool completely before slicing for neat, chewy bars.
Notes
For extra chewiness, add one egg yolk in addition to the whole egg. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
