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
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
