Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, followed by the pumpkin puree, ensuring everything is smoothly blended.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
5. Fold in white chocolate chips and pecans, if desired.
6. Spread the batter evenly in the baking pan.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy these blondies with a cup of hot apple cider or a pumpkin spice latte for the ultimate autumnal treat. They also pair wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Pro Tips for Success
For even richer flavor, let the blondies sit for a day before serving to allow the spices to deepen. Ensure not to over-mix the batter to keep the blondies tender.
Storing and Reheating
Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To enjoy them warm, reheat in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
