Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup pumpkin purée
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth.
Add the pumpkin purée, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is fully combined.
Fold in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt with a spatula until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares.
Notes
Use high-quality pure maple syrup for the best flavor profile. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Do not overmix the batter to ensure a chewy texture.
