Ingredients
For the Blondies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt the Butter and Infuse the Spice:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the pumpkin pie spice and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In the same saucepan, whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, salt, and egg. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour remain.
- Add the Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the semisweet and dark chocolate chips, reserving a handful for sprinkling on top.
- Bake the Blondies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for a decorative touch.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice:
- Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure the blondies stay moist and chewy.
- Customize by swapping chocolate chips with white chocolate, butterscotch, or cinnamon chips.
