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
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake the blondies evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly distribute the leavening agent and spices.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Then fold in the brown sugar to lend sweetness and moisture.
- Prepare and Bake: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and the right texture.
Notes
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra sugars and spices.
- You can substitute melted butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust sweetness by reducing or increasing maple syrup and brown sugar according to preference.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a nuttier flavor, consider folding in chopped pecans or walnuts.
