Ingredients

• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 1 item large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans or walnuts, if using.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 10

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
