Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Step 3: Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
Step 4: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined.
Step 6: Fold in the chocolate chips, then spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 8: Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares.
Notes
Ensure the pumpkin puree is at room temperature for the best emulsion. Do not overbake to maintain the fudgy texture.
