Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, melted and browned
- 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
- 2 large Eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Brown the butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a deep golden color and emits a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Mix sugars and butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
- Add pumpkin and eggs: Mix in the pumpkin puree until smooth. Then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
Notes
- For variation, add 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
- Swirl cream cheese frosting on top for an extra indulgent treat.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Serve with warm beverages such as coffee, tea, or hot cider for a cozy fall experience.
