Ingredients
Method
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13-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.
