To make these tasty blondies, you need a few key ingredients: - 1 cup pumpkin puree - 1 cup brown sugar - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 2 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips These ingredients work together to create a soft and chewy texture. The pumpkin gives it a nice flavor and moistness. For added texture and taste, consider using: - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts - A sprinkle of sea salt on top - A drizzle of chocolate glaze These optional ingredients can enhance the flavor and make your blondies even more delightful. If you have allergies, here are some easy swaps: - Use coconut oil instead of butter. - Replace eggs with 1/4 cup applesauce per egg. - Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option. These substitutions can help you enjoy the blondies without worry. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, grab an 8x8 inch baking pan. Line it with parchment paper. Leave some paper hanging over the edges. This helps you lift the blondies out later. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Slowly add in 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter while whisking. Keep whisking until the mix is smooth. Next, add 2 large eggs, one at a time. Mix well after each egg. Finally, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a nice flavor boost. In another bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Stir these dry ingredients into the wet mix. Be careful not to overmix; this keeps the blondies tender. Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and, if you like, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Pour the batter into the lined pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. After baking, let the blondies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment to lift them out and place them on a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares. To make great blondies, start with room temperature eggs. This helps mix them well. Use high-quality chocolate chips. They add rich flavor and texture. Always measure your flour correctly. Too much flour can make them dry. Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Do not overmix the batter. This can lead to tough blondies. Mix just until you no longer see dry flour. Make sure your oven is preheated. A cold oven can change baking times and texture. Also, avoid opening the oven door too often. This can cause the blondies to sink. Add spices for depth. Try a pinch of ginger or cloves with cinnamon and nutmeg. For a more chewy texture, use brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking. This will balance the sweetness and enhance the flavor. Enjoy your blondies warm for the best taste! {{image_4}} You can mix up the chocolate chips in your blondies. Try dark chocolate chips for a richer taste. Milk chocolate chips add sweetness and creaminess. You can even use white chocolate chips if you want a different flavor. For a fun twist, go for peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips. Each type gives your blondies a unique twist. If you need nut-free blondies, just leave out the walnuts. You can still enjoy a great texture. For a gluten-free option, swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour. Many brands work well in baking. Check the packaging for one-to-one swaps. This way, everyone can enjoy these fall treats. Get creative with toppings and add-ins. You can sprinkle some sea salt on top for contrast. A drizzle of caramel can add extra sweetness. Try adding shredded coconut for a tropical touch. You can also mix in dried fruit like cranberries or raisins for added flavor. Customize these blondies to match your taste! To keep your chocolate chip pumpkin blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container. This prevents them from drying out. Place parchment paper between layers if you stack them. Keep the container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing. Freezing blondies is simple and effective. First, let them cool completely. Cut them into squares. Wrap each square in plastic wrap or foil. Then, place them in a freezer-safe bag. Label the bag with the date. They can stay frozen for up to three months. Thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy. For the best taste, reheat your blondies gently. You can use a microwave or an oven. If using a microwave, heat for about 10-15 seconds. Check to avoid overheating. If using an oven, preheat to 350°F (175°C). Warm the blondies for 5-10 minutes. This will make them soft and delicious again. Enjoy them warm for a cozy treat! Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin. First, cook your pumpkin until soft. Then, mash it well. Make sure to drain any excess water. This will help keep your blondies from being too wet. Fresh pumpkin gives a nice flavor and texture too. Your blondies are done when a toothpick comes out clean. If you see a few moist crumbs on the toothpick, it’s still good. The edges should be slightly golden and the center should look set. Don’t overbake, or they may dry out. To cut blondies evenly, let them cool first. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.

Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some excess paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Gradually pour in the melted butter while whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Add the eggs to the mixture, adding them one at a time. Mix thoroughly after each egg before incorporating the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Once combined, gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, blending until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.

          Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Pour the prepared batter into the lined baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top for an even finish.

              Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The blondies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

                Once baked, allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully lift them out using the parchment overhang and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
