These Pumpkin Maple Blondies are a cozy, nostalgic treat perfect for fall, combining spiced pumpkin puree, rich maple syrup, and a chewy blondie texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—stop as soon as the batter is fully combined.
  6. If adding optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack using the parchment paper overhang.
  10. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.

Notes

[‘Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a chewy texture.’, ‘Use parchment paper for easy removal and slicing.’, ‘Check for doneness at 30 minutes; a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.’, ‘Customize the spices by adding cloves or ginger for extra depth.’, ‘Double the recipe for larger gatherings using a 9×13-inch pan and bake for 40-45 minutes.’]
