Description
Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Blondies are a delightful twist on traditional blondies, combining the warm flavors of pumpkin and spices with the classic snickerdoodle taste.
Ingredients
- Pumpkin puree: 1 cup (canned or homemade)
- Brown sugar: 1 cup, packed
- Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), melted
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Ground nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- Granulated sugar: 2 tablespoons (for sprinkling)
- Additional ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a 9×9 inch baking pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, then add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Create a pumpkin spice swirl by mixing a small amount of the batter with additional cinnamon and nutmeg, then swirl it into the main batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let the blondies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For longer storage, freeze cut blondies wrapped in plastic wrap for up to three months.
