Ingredients

(Makes 16 squares)

For the Blondie Batter

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg yolk
• ⅓ cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking powder

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

• 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Grease and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a small overhang for easy lifting.

💡 Pro Tip: If you don’t have an 8×8 pan, use a 9×9 — just reduce baking time slightly (by about 5 minutes).

2. Make the Blondie Batter

1. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
2. Add egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder.
4. Fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined — don’t overmix.

3. Add Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

1. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
2. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the top.

4. Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

💡 Tip: Slight underbaking keeps them chewy — the perfect blondie texture!

5. Cool & Slice

Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Use the parchment overhang to lift out and cut into 16 squares.

💡 Pro Tip: For clean, bakery-style cuts, chill the blondies for 20 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife.

Serving Suggestions

• Dust with extra cinnamon sugar for sparkle.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Drizzle with maple glaze or caramel sauce.
• Pair with a mug of pumpkin spice latte or chai tea.

FAQs (PAA Section)

What if I don’t have an 8×8 pan?

You can use a 9×9 pan instead — your blondies will be slightly thinner, so reduce bake time to about 20–22 minutes.

How do you get those sharp cuts?

Let blondies cool completely (or chill briefly). Use a long, sharp knife wiped clean between each cut for perfect bakery-style squares.

Can I turn these into cookies?

Yes! Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes. They’ll taste like chewy pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies!
