Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Spread the pumpkin spice blondie batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pumpkin spice blondies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing into squares.
Notes
- For gluten-free pumpkin spice blondies, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.
- You can add white chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for variations.
- For a bolder flavor, increase the cinnamon and pumpkin spice.
- Consider a maple glaze by combining powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk.
- Swap brown sugar for coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free option.
- These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, refrigerated for up to a week, or frozen for up to 3 months.
