Step by step instructions
Wonder how to make and bake these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies? Here is step by step instructions!
You don't even need an electric mixer for this recipe. You will need an 8×8 baking pan, parchment paper, two bowls, a whisk, and a rubber spatula. I use this pan that you can find here:
Step 1: Prep your pan. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, pinch the sides down with medium size binding clips, spray with cooking spray, set aside.
Step 2: Whisk the sugar and butter. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and both sugars. Whisk for about 60 seconds.
Step 3: Add the egg. Add the egg and whisk vigorously for 60-90 seconds. This helps get the shine on top of the blondies.
Step 4: Add the pumpkin puree. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Step 5: Add the dry ingredients. to a rubber spatula, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and chocolate chips, stir until just combined. There should be no more flour streaks. Don't over mix.
Step 6: Transfer the dough to the prepped pan. Pour batter into the prepared pan and evenly distribute the dough all the way to the sides of the pan. Hint: if you want a pretty top, add a little more chocolate chips to the top as a garnish before you put them in the oven.
Step 7: Bake. Bake for about 25 to 28 minutes, or until done, depending on your oven. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the blondies. It should come out with a few, to no, crumbs.
Expert baking tips
- Use a high quality, light color pan. This is so important. It will ensure that you don't burn the sides of your blondies. I got my pan here:
- Preheat your oven for 30 minutes before you start baking. This will ensure that your oven is actually up to temp.
- Spoon and level your flour to get a more accurate measurement.
FAQ
What if I don't have a 8×8?
You can use a 9×9. If you want to use a 9×13, make sure to double the recipe.
How do you get those sharp cuts?
I use a sharp knife and I clean it after every cut. I also make sure that my dessert is cold before I cut it.
Can I turn these into cookies?
Yes! Make sure to use cold, cubed butter. Use a medium to large cookie scoop, and bake for 13-15 minutes.
Storing
Store these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies in an airtight container at room temperature. Store up to 5 days.
They taste great cold. I don't normally say that, but its true! The flavor just comes through so much better.
Freezing
If you have leftovers, which is unlikely, store them in an airtight container or use plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 3 months.
