Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature before you start mixing the ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming the flavorful base of the blondies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter, maintaining a tender texture.
- Fold in Brown Sugar: Carefully fold in the brown sugar to add a rich sweetness and slight chewiness to the blondies.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish to prevent the blondies from sticking and pour the batter evenly into the dish, smoothing the top for even baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the blondies are perfectly cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into squares to ensure they hold together and have the optimal texture.
Notes
- Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree for convenience and consistent results.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender and moist.
- Let the blondies cool thoroughly before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter before baking.
