Ingredients
 

  • 1 ¼ cups (280 g) unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup (183 g) canned pumpkin puree Libby's
  • 2 ½ cups + 2 tablespoon (329 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 ½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (330 g) light brown sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla
  • ½ cup (100 g) white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoon (25 g) granulated white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 pan with non stick spray and line it with parchment paper.
  • Add the butter to a pot and heat it over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and come to a simmer. Simmer until the butter is giving off a nutty scent and has browned. The whole process should take about 5 minutes. Remove the butter from the heat and allow it to cool until it's room temperature but still liquid.
    1 ¼ cups (280 g) unsalted butter
  • Then dry your pumpkin. This may seem weird but it is the only way these blondies will bake properly and not turn out cakey! Spread your pumpkin on a plate and place a paper towel over the top. Lightly press to absorb the liquid. Repeat the step at least five more times. (It needs to reduce down to ⅓ cup from ¾ cup). Set aside.
    ¾ cup (183 g) canned pumpkin puree
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside the flour mixture.
    2 ½ cups + 2 tablespoon (329 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, 1 ½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon salt
  • To a large bowl add the brown butter, brown sugar, egg yolks, vanilla and pumpkin puree and mix with a hand mixer on medium speed until combined and smooth. (You can also use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.)
    1 ½ cups (330 g) light brown sugar, 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla
  • Add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine on low speed.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
    ½ cup (100 g) white chocolate chips
  • Press the dough into the prepared pan.
  • Mix the granulated white sugar and pumpkin pie spice together in a small bowl. Sprinkle it over top of the blondies.
    2 tablespoon (25 g) granulated white sugar, ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Bake the blondies for 26-28 minutes until the center is slightly puffy and a toothpick comes out from the center with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the blondies cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then sprinkle extra white chocolate chips over the top if you wish. Then let the blondies cool completely.
  • Remove the blondies from the pan and cut into 16 squares. Then enjoy!
