Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

  • 2 sticks salted butter
  • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks

Brown Sugar Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Bake the Butter: In a medium pot over medium heat, brown 2 sticks of salted butter by cooking for 2-3 minutes until the butter smells toasted and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and pour the browned butter into a large bowl to cool for about 5 minutes.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: To the cooled browned butter, add 1 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup pumpkin butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 large eggs, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Whisk all together until smooth and combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In the same bowl, mix in 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Fold in 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks evenly.
  5. Spread and Bake: Spread the blondie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the center is just set but still moist. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  6. Prepare the Brown Sugar Glaze: In a small pot over medium heat, brown 2 tablespoons salted butter lightly for 2-3 minutes. Whisk in 1 cup powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons brewed espresso or strong coffee, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the brown sugar glaze evenly over the cooled blondies. Let the glaze set for about 5 minutes before cutting into bars and serving.

Notes

  • For a flavor twist, substitute pumpkin butter with apple butter.
  • Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
  • Swap white chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips to deepen the flavor.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep blondies moist and chewy.
