Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently stir in the butterscotch chips.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the blondies soft and chewy.
  • For a deeper flavor, refrigerate the blondies overnight before serving.
  • Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate or butterscotch for extra flair.
  • Let them cool fully before slicing for clean edges.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
