Ingredients
- All-Purpose FlourThis forms the base of the blondies, providing structure and chewiness. Ensure it's fresh for the best results.
- Pumpkin PureeThis adds the signature pumpkin flavor and moisture to the blondies. Use 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Brown SugarAdds a caramel-like sweetness and helps to keep the blondies moist. You can use light or dark brown sugar, depending on your preference for molasses flavor.
- Granulated SugarProvides additional sweetness and helps to create a slightly crisp top.
- EggsBind the ingredients together and contribute to the blondies' rich texture. Use large eggs for consistent results.
- Unsalted ButterMelted butter provides richness and moisture. Using unsalted allows you to control the overall saltiness of the recipe.
- Pumpkin Pie SpiceA blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves that gives these blondies their warm, autumnal flavor.
- Baking PowderThis leavening agent helps the blondies rise and become light and airy.
- SaltEnhances the flavors of all the other ingredients.
- Vanilla ExtractAdds a touch of warmth and complexity to the flavor profile. Use pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
- Chopped Walnuts or Pecans(Optional) For added texture and nutty flavor. Feel free to omit if you have nut allergies or prefer a smoother blondie.
- White Chocolate Chips(Optional) These add a touch of sweetness and creamy texture.
